After a tough end to their month of March, the University of Wisconsin softball team was not able to right the ship this weekend. In a matchup against Rutgers University, the UW offense put up a collective two runs in the last two games of the series — losing both. The team now holds a 2–7 conference record, second-worst in the Big Ten.
It was an eventful Friday even before gametime. Since they were in New Jersey, the Badgers’ team felt the 4.8 magnitude earthquake that hit the area on the morning of April 5.
