Wisconsin fends off late Husker charge to take regular-season finale and series

On Sunday, the Badgers (38-11, 15-8) jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second inning and took a 4-1 advantage when Lauren Foster led off the bottom of the third with a solo home run to left center.

Madi Unzicker worked out of an 0-2 count to hit a solo homer, her seventh of the season and second of the series to cut the Badger lead to 4-2 in the sixth. Lindsey Walljasper followed with a two-out single, Rylie Unzicker reached on an error, and both runners advanced on a wild pitch. Wallace drew a walk to load the bases, but Wisconsin's Kaitlyn Menz got out of the jam by getting Lexey Kneib to pop out for the third out.
