Tough loss to Wisconsin. 3 unearned runs in top of the 7th.

After an error that would have ended the 7th inning, the next Wisconsin batter hit a 3 run homer to put Wisconsin up 4-0. ND got two in the bottom of the 7th but left the bases loaded. Lost 4-2. The first 6 innings ND totally out hit Wisonsin 8 to 2, but the Badgers got their run after a walk and HBP with a single to center which we should have thrown out the runner at home but the throw was offline. The following inning ND should have scored on a single with someone on second to tie, but their center fielder threw a bullet to the catcher for the out.

I thought we would win in th bottom of the 7th until the throwing error that gave Wisonsin life an allowed the 3 run homer on the next pitch. Hope they come back tomorrow.

she pitched first 3 innings of a run-rule shortened 5 inning perfect game striking out 6. Today she pitched a 7 innings no hitter with 16 strikeouts as they beat Wisconsin 4-0 . Only blemishes 1 walk and a HBP. Hopefully we get a chance to play them with two wins, but I don't see much chance of us getting to next week by beating them twice on their field.

But still hoping we can because it ain't over until it's over.

Another game where we got a lot of folks on base but didn't get them in. We've left 23+ on base in the two games. Hopefully we can get more clutch hitting. We are like 2-24 with runners in scoring position.


We do not recruit or develop championship level pitching. *
