Wisconsin knew it was going to need another slugfest to outlast the UCLA Bruins. The Badgers were able to make that magic happen against the Oregon Ducks, but couldn’t quite do the same against the Bruins. UCLA could not stop hitting. There were home runs on homeruns, and the Bruins walked away with a 19-5 Big Ten Tournament win to send UCLA to the championship game to take on Nebraska.
It was an historic night for the Bruins as Megan Grant tied the D-1 record for most home runs in a single season with 37. The Badgers were on the wrong side of history in this one, and yet, still proved they belong in the NCAA Tournament, and it would be shocking if Wisconsin is not called on this coming Sunday when the committee makes the decisions.
