A trio of improbable comebacks has kept the Wisconsin Badgers hopes alive to make the NCAA softball tournament.
In an attempt to make their first NCAA Tournament since 2022, the Badgers secured their first series win over Michigan since 2014.
Wisconsin dropped the series opener, 7-4, but later took home a pair of victories (6-3 and 14-12). Most impressively, three of the Badgers last four wins have seen them erase a six-run deficit.
Sitting at 24-16 (9-9), Wisconsin knows they're among the nation's top 64 teams. While the NCAA Women's Softball RPI hasn't been updated since April 18, it's important to note the Badgers were ranked No. 38. Seeing as they now have an extra win, they're in good shape.

Wisconsin can't get too comfortable as they still have eight games remaining. St. Thomas comes to town on April 21 for a doubleheader, which acts as the Badgers' final non-conference games. From there, they head to Minnesota on April 24-26 before hosting Rutgers on May 1-3.
