Wisconsin softball continues to roll, wins third-straight game

The Badgers win their third in a row

After winning their first series since the beginning of the year with a walk-off last Sunday against Iowa, the Badgers have continued to turn their season around in New Jersey at Rutgers.

Wisconsin improved to 10-16 on the year with a 5-0 win in game one of their doubleheader at Rutgers, as Haley Hestekin dominated in the circle with a complete game. While the Badgers have a young core that struggled early, they are finally finding themselves down the stretch in Big Ten play. The Badgers have not allowed a run in two wins over Rutgers, and will look for the sweep in today’s doubleheader and tomorrow morning’s matchup.
