Sophomore Haley Hestekin allowed one unearned run over four innings and the University of Wisconsin softball team used a three-run second inning to defeat Nebraska 4-2 on Sunday in the regular-season finale at Goodman Diamond.
Hestekin (17-4) allowed two hits while walking three and striking out two, and junior Kaitlyn Menz allowed one earned run over three innings of relief as the Badgers (38-11, 15-8 Big Ten) won the decisive outing of the three-game series.
Junior Caroline Hedgcock, senior Kelly Welsh and junior Kayla Konwent each had run-scoring singles in the second inning as UW built a 3-0 lead against the Cornhuskers (21-30, 9-14).
