Badgers fall to Michigan in Big Ten semifinal
May 11, 2019 | Softball
Johnson hits second home run of weekend
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Wisconsin softball's run at the Big Ten tournament came to an end Saturday morning at the hands of top-seeded Michigan. The Badgers dropped an 8-3 decision in their fourth-ever appearance in the B1G semifinals.
Â
Sophomore Taylor Johnson got the Badgers on the board in the top of the fourth with a solo home run to left center.
Â
Stephanie Lombardo and Caroline Hedgcock sparked a powerful fifth inning for Wisconsin with back-to-back singles. A Kelly Welsh single in the next at bat loaded the bases allowing Kayla Konwent to send two runners home with a dynamic double to left center.
Â
Ultimately, Michigan's offense prevailed as they recorded 15 hits for eight runs.  Â
