BANNER

A three-run lead was not enough to hold off Mass. Maritime as the Badgers dropped both games of Thursday's neutral‑site doubleheader, falling 9-3 in the opener and 11-6 in the afternoon matchup.

SUMMARY

The Badgers opened the day with a competitive effort in Game 1, producing six hits and three runs in a 9-3 setback. Johnson broke through in the fourth inning when senior Audrey Tembreull roped a triple down the right‑field line, later scoring on Tay Reddick's RBI single. The momentum carried briefly into the fifth, where Kristie Zator delivered an RBI single and first‑year Madyson Stingle added an RBI groundout. Sophomore Kamryn Devero sparked the offense with a two‑hit performance, while Hannah Corvino worked a full six innings in the circle.

Johnson produced an even stronger offensive surge in Game 2, highlighted by a massive six‑run third inning. Senior Nikki Sweet initiated the rally with a leadoff walk, and after a successful sacrifice bunt from Devero and a wild pitch, freshman Peyton Niles drew another walk to help load the bases. The Badgers then strung together three straight RBI singles from Stingle, Tembreull, and Reddick. With the bases again full, Corvino, Sweet, and Devero each worked bases‑loaded walks to push additional runs across. Despite Johnson's early burst, Mass. Maritime answered with sustained scoring across the middle innings, handing the Badgers an 11–6 defeat.
