BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Purdue Fort Wayne softball team played a pair of competitive games with Big Ten foe Wisconsin on Saturday (March 4), falling 3-0 and 5-0.
GAME 1 - Wisconsin 3, Purdue Fort Wayne 0
The Badgers broke open the scoring in the first inning after a walk and double. From there, Quinlan did not allow a hit until the top of the fifth, and it took another inning from there to plate two more runs.
Sonia Solis had the first hit of the day for the 'Dons. It was a single down the left field line. In the fourth, Grace Hollopeter had a single in the fourth that eventually put her on third base. She was halted there and Wisconsin kept the 'Dons off the scoreboard. Hollopeter finished with a pair of hits.
Alyson Quinlan (0-4) held the Badgers to three runs, tying their season-low in a winning effort. Gabi Salo (2-0) struck out 11 Mastodons.
GAME 2 - Wisconsin 5, Purdue Fort Wayne 0
In game two, it took Wisconsin until the third inning to score, which came on a throwing error.
This was a half inning after the Mastodons had loaded the bases to threaten a lead. It started with singles from Bailey Manos and Taryn Jenkins. Hollopeter put the ball in play, but Manos was called out at home. Wintlend then drew a walk to juice the bases. Solis made contact to left field, but the Badgers made the catch to end the inning and strand three 'Dons.
Wisconsin opened up the game with a three-run fourth inning.
Alanah Jones threw all six innings and registered three strikeouts. She fell to 3-6 while Maddie Schwartz improved to the same record. Schwartz had five strikeouts in her three innings pitched.
Purdue Fort Wayne falls to 4-14 and Wisconsin improves to 8-6. The Mastodons will return to play two more games at Andy Mohr Field on Sunday (March 5) with Green Bay (non-league game) and Indiana.
