Wisconsin softball: Gophers sweep UW in crucial late-season doubleheader

The Wisconsin Badgers softball team hadn’t played the Minnesota Golden Gophers since 2019, and had to wait a few extra weeks this season as their doubleheader was postponed on April 20 due to weather in the Twin Cities, and Wednesday afternoon’s series did not go like UW hoped.

Game one was a pitcher’s duel which the Badgers lost 1-0 on a walk-off double in the bottom of the seventh while the second game was a back and forth affair which Minnesota won 4-2. UW has now lost three games in a row.

Maddie Schwartz (22-7) scattered six hits over 6.
