Despite a weather-condensed weekend that led to a long doubleheader on Saturday afternoon, Northwestern softball wouldn’t be denied, sweeping a three-game series against No. 25 Wisconsin.
The Wildcats began the weekend with a hard-fought 4-1 victory, buoyed by yet another complete game from freshman pitcher Danielle Williams, who gave up just one run and four hits while striking out nine batters.
Facing Williams was Wisconsin pitcher Kaitlyn Menz, who entered the game at 13-3 with a sub-1.50 ERA. She nearly went toe-to-toe with the freshman phenom, as only two of her four runs given up were earned.
