MADISON, Wis. - The South Dakota State softball team came up on the short end of its makeup game with Wisconsin on Sunday, falling to the Badgers by the score of 11-2.

The loss drops the Jacks to 10-26 on the season, the Badgers improve to 10-22 with win.

Wisconsin got on the board with single runs in the first and third innings and then pushed the lead to 6-0 with four runs on two hits, a walk and a hit batsman in the fourth inning.

The Jacks got on the board in the top of the fifth thanks to a single, a wild pitch and a flurry of illegal pitches, all with two outs to cut the lead to 6-2.

Both teams went scoreless in their next at bats, but the Badgers scored five runs in the sixth, including a two-run Ashley Hanewich homerun that ended the game due to the eight run rule.
