4/12/2025 3:32:00 PM | Softball
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. ––– After a close Friday loss, Indiana provided a strong statement in a dominant bounce back win. The Hoosiers handled the Badgers on Saturday afternoon, winning 14-1 in five innings at the Goodman Softball Complex.
Indiana scored in four of the five innings to secure the run rule to push the team to a win. Indiana's record now stands at 28-11 overall and 7-6 in the Big Ten.
INDIANA 14, WISCONSIN 1 (F/5)
KEY MOMENTS
• The Hoosier bats were ready to go from the jump as Taylor Minnick doubled and Avery Parker walked in two of the first three at bats.
• Kinsey Mitchell took advantage of the situation and doubled to bring Minnick home. In the very next at bat, the Hoosiers hit another double as Aly VanBrandt hit the ball over the left fielder's head to score two more runs and make it a 3-0 game from the jump.
• Two more Indiana runs crossed home when Minnick and Parker hit RBI singles in back-to-back at bats to bring the lead to 5-0 in the top of the second.
• Just like the first inning, VanBrandt extended that lead with a 3-run home run over the left center field wall to put the Hoosiers up 8-0.
• Wisconsin got on the board with an Emily Bojan home run and threatened with the bases loaded. Brianna Copeland entered the circle and forced two popouts in the infield to keep the score at 8-1.
• Indiana added another run to the lead when Taylor Minnick hit a home run to right field to make it 9-1 in the top of the fourth.
• The Hoosiers scored another five runs in the fifth inning to close the game at a 14-1 advantage. Melina Wilkison hit a home run to left, Minnick hit an RBI double to the right field wall and Parker hit a 3-run home run to finish it.
NOTABLES
• VanBrandt's home run was the second of her career.
• Four Hoosiers hit home runs (VanBrandt, Minnick, Wilkison, Parker).
• Indiana has won six of its last seven games.
• With the win in the circle, Copeland's season record has improved to 12-5.
• Indiana hit eight extra base hits on the afternoon.
