The University of Wisconsin softball team (30-5, 7-2 Big Ten) hosted the Iowa Hawkeyes (15-18, 1-8) in their Big Ten home opener last weekend in a three-game series. The Badgers pulled off a home sweep with final scores of 8–0 Friday, 9–1 Saturday and 4–2 Sunday.
A consistent Badger offense and dominant pitching staff have been the consistent factors driving the team’s recent success.
Friday’s game featured Iowa ace Allison Doocy in the circle. Doocy visited Wisconsin boasting a 1.97 career ERA and was ready to shut down her opponent. But the heavy-hitting Wisconsin offense had a different plan.
