The Minnesota Gophers softball team stayed hot especially against border rivals after sweeping the Wisconsin badgers in a doubleheader in Madison by scores of 9-0 and 7-0. The Gophers are now 9-1 in their last ten games and have climbed up the Big Ten Standings to sole possession of fourth place, just a single game out of second place.
A big reason for the Gophers recent success has been the play of their pitching staff. Minnesota has allowed just three runs in their last 56 and a third innings pitched, and all three of those runs were unearned.
