Tar Heels Fall Short to Wisconsin in Weekend Finale
February 16, 2020 | Softball
CHAPEL HILL – Despite a one-run Tar Heel lead through the fifth inning, Wisconsin scored six runs in the sixth to secure the 8-3 victory against No. 25 North Carolina at Anderson Stadium on Sunday afternoon to wrap up the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
Wisconsin scored first on a pair of solo shots, but Carolina regained the lead in the fourth inning after a three-run home run by junior Zoë Goodman. The Tar Heels maintained their lead until the bottom of the sixth inning with one out on the board. An RBI-walk and one-run single followed by a grand slam homerun from Kayla Konwent secured the 8-3 win for the Badgers.
Following the Big Ten/ACC Challenge, Carolina sits at 5-5 while Wisconsin advances to 6-3. Carolina goes on to play NC Central at home on Tuesday.
Key Moments vs. Wisconsin
» Wisconsin scored early with a pair of solo home runs by Kayla Konwent and Caroline Hedgcock in the first inning.
» Despite a trio of Carolina miscues, Megan Dray highlighted the frame with a runner thrown out a third to Abby Settlemyre.
» With two players on base in the fourth inning due to a single by Kristina Burkhardt and walk by Lexi Godwin, Goodman launched a homerun ball to left-center, pulling the Tar Heels ahead, 3-2.
» Defensively, the Tar Heels shined in the fourth inning as George recorded her second strikeout and Burkhardt threw out the runner at home from center field.
» Despite holding the Badgers scoreless for five innings, Wisconsin posted six runs on four hits, highlighted by Konwent's second home run of the game for a grand slam.
» Starting pitcher Hannah George struck out five in 5.1 innings before Alyssa Stanley took over in the circle tossing the final two outs.
» Winning pitcher: Kaitlyn Menz (5-1) // Losing pitcher: Hannah George (4-2)
