After being eliminated by Florida their last time in the NCAA Tournament, the Wisconsin Badgers are looking to shock the world in the Austin Regional.
NCAA Tournament play begins for Yvette Healy’s squad in the Austin Regional as Wisconsin takes on Baylor. The Bears hovered around .500 this season while Healy led this program to a 30-win season, one of their best all-time.
Wisconsin, fresh off a semi-final appearance in the Big Ten tournament, is looking to build on its upset over No. 2 Oregon and prove its five-inning loss to No. 3 UCLA won’t happen again.
Shelby Jacobson has thrown the first pitch in Austin as Wisconsin’s first tournament game since 2022 is underway!
End of 1st: Baylor 0, Wisconsin 0
Wisconsin also leaves two stranded as a lineout double-play cuts their first inning short.
M1: Baylor 0, Wisconsin 0
Jacobson allowed a double and a walk in a 26-pitch first inning, but Baylor left a pair of runners in scoring position.
