Lincoln (Nebraska Athletics) – The Nebraska softball team jumped out to an early lead in the series finale with Wisconsin Sunday at Bowlin Stadium, but the Badgers scored the game’s final eight runs to rally for a 9-3 victory and win the series.
Nebraska (16-16) scored twice in the bottom of the first before both teams hit solo home runs in the second inning. But that would be the last run for the Huskers, who were shut down by Wisconsin ace Maddie Schwartz out of the bullpen. Schwartz (9-9) earned her third win of the series with 5.2 scoreless innings of two-hit relief. Schwartz was the winning pitcher in each of the three Wisconsin (15-17) wins in the series.
