Wisconsin drops second game to Huskies

Badgers fall, 6-2 in Seattle

SEATTLE - The Wisconsin softball team (22-14, 6-6) dropped the second game of its series against Washington this Saturday, falling 6-2.

Wisconsin played from behind for most of the game, with a four-run fifth inning from the Huskies being the deciding blow.

The Badgers struck early, scoring in the top of the first inning. Molly Schlosser reached scoring position with a double, before Kendra Lewis drove her in with a single.

The lead wouldn't last long, however, as the Huskies managed to score two runs in the next frame off Wisconsin's Molly Jacobson.

The game was scoreless for the next three innings, but a big fifth inning separated the Huskies from the Badgers. Washington hit a solo home run to lead off the inning, before hitting a three-run home run four batters later, making the score, 6-1.

Hilary Blomberg would push one more run across the plate for Wisconsin in the top of the seventh, hitting an RBI-double, but Washington held on to win, 6-2.

Starter Molly Jacobson was charged with the loss after giving Washington's first two runs of the game. Shelby Jacobson came on in relief for the following three innings, giving up two earned runs and striking out three batters. Jordan Felci and Mattie Believau each made appearances as well.

Wisconsin collected ten hits in the loss, including four doubles. The team managed to reach base in six of the seven innings, but left nine runners on base in the game. Wisconsin was previously 9-0 this season when recording 10+ hits.
