Friday Fun: Badgers take two from Hawkeyes

UW earns 7-1 and 1-0 win over Iowa

MADISON, Wis. -- It was a great Friday for the Wisconsin softball team as the Badgers took two from Iowa, earning a 7-1 win in the first game of a doubleheader before blanking the Hawkeyes, 1-0, in the finale. 

Game 1
The Badger bats started off hot in the first inning. Four runs were scored after the Hawkeyes went scoreless in the first. Peyton Bannon led off for the Badgers with a single to left field and reached second off a bunt from Ally Miklesh. 
 
Fiona Girardot would bring both batters home after her first of three doubles in the game. Lauren Foster hit a triple that scored Girardot. The final run of the inning would come from an Abby Herbst single where Foster scored. 
 
The other three runs would come in the third and fifth inning. Girardot had a double in each of those innings, including the stretch in the fifth where she, Lauren Foster and Abby Herbst would hit back-to-back-to-back doubles. 
 
Junior pitcher Maddie Schwartz, had a day in the circle. She held the Hawkeyes to just one run in the sixth inning and tallied nine strikeouts on the mound. 
 
Wisconsin had 12 hits to Iowa's four. The most notable offensive performance came from Girardot who went 3-3, scored three runs and two doubles.


Game 2
Wisconsin capped off Friday's doubleheader against the Iowa Hawkeyes with a 1-0 win, sweeping the day at Goodman Diamond.

A pitchers duel in the circle, Haley Hestekin took the win for Wisconsin holding the Hawkeyes to shutout softball while recording four strikeout and allowing only two hits.

The lone Badger run came off of a Christiaana Angelopulos home run in the second inning. 

Battling Cleanup
- After missing last weekend's series, Abby Herbst came up big for the Badgers as she had a team-high .750 batting average and three RBI on the day.
- This marks UW's first winning streak since sweeping its doubleheader on Penn State on Feb. 26. 
- The Badgers have now won their last five games against the Hawkeyes.
- UW's shutout was its first since a 1-0 shutout win over Maryland on Feb. 28.
