Wisconsin softball pitcher Maddie Schwartz throws no-hitter, earns Pitcher of the Week

Wisconsin’s Maddie Schwartz earned Big Ten Pitcher of the Week this week after a dominant, complete game no-hitter against Purdue.

It was the eleventh time a Badger pitcher has thrown a no-hitter. Wisconsin earned a sweep of Purdue and are now 7-2 in Big Ten play with a weekend series against first-place Northwestern looming.

Schwartz threw 13.1 scoreless innings highlighted by the no-hitter. She was just a walk away from throwing a perfect game, but helped lead the Badgers to a needed sweep of Purdue.

Overall, Wisconsin sits at 20-10 with a Tuesday matchup against DePaul on the schedule before a pair of home games against the University of St. Thomas.
