Zedak worked a leadoff walk, and Nelson, who has struggled at the plate this season, had an extremely successful bunt - reaching first safely and moving Zedak all the way to third. Despite not scoring in 11 innings (including the prior game), the ‘Cats did not crumble under the bright lights. Neither offense had done anything all game in fact, Northwestern had only four hits all game before the seventh inning. In the final game of the series, NU once again found themselves in a rock fight. h2F1blyNeV- Northwestern Softball April 22, 2023 Rudd was also the hero in the top of the following frame, lacing a ball into center field to score Skyler Shellmyer and put the Wildcats on top for good. The winning run also tried to score on the double, but the cut-off throw from Maeve Nelson was on target to Rudd, who placed the tag and kept the Wildcats alive. However, that would be short-lived as Boyd surrendered a double that scored the tying run. It took Northwestern until the 10th inning, but Nikki Cuchran’s scalding hot bat in conference play came through once again, ripping a ball through the left side of the infield to push the ‘Cats ahead 3-2. Michigan loaded the bases in the bottom of the frame, but Boyd forced an easy pop-out to get out of the jam. Boyd replaced Williams in the seventh inning and kept finding ways to work out of trouble. In yet another down-to-the-wire game, the Wildcats did not flinch. On Friday night, NU jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a pair of home runs by Angela Zedak and Robinson, but the Wolverines tied it back up on a two-run single in the fifth. In two of its games last weekend against Wisconsin, Northwestern held on to win 1-0 and had to play nine-innings to escape with a 4-3 victory.

Here are the major takeaways from this weekend’s series in Ann Arbor: Northwestern found a way to win close games Although the three-game set went NU’s way, the squad’s performance did leave some question marks. Rudd tacked on one more with an RBI single to make it 3-0, and Williams got the final three outs to seal a 3-0 victory and series win for the Wildcats. In the top of the seventh, with the bases loaded and two outs, Kansas Robinson lined a ball back up the middle for a two-run single to break the tie and put the ‘Cats ahead 2-0.
In the rubber match of the weekend, the ‘Cats’ offense struggled to scratch a run across the board, but the pitching combination of Williams and Boyd held the Blue and Maize at bay, and the teams headed into the final frame still scoreless. On the other side, the Wildcats’ offense mustered up only one hit all game, and NU was run-ruled for the second time this year, dropping the middle game 15-0. The Wolverines shelled Northwestern pitchers Cami Henry and Sydney Supple, giving up 15 runs in four innings.
Saturday’s game was one NU would rather forget. Danielle Williams got the nod for game one, and Lauren Boyd finished off the back half of Friday night’s contest. Northwestern opened up the series with an immaculate 4-3 victory in extra innings after Jordyn Rudd ripped an RBI single in the top of the 11th inning, putting the ‘Cats on top for good.
