The University of Illinois is hosting this year's Big Ten softball tournament at Eichelberger Field.

On Wednesday, Illinois took on Wisconsin in the final game of the day.

Illinois fell down 2-0 in the second inning, following a solo homerun from the Badgers. The Illini would bounce back in the 6th inning scoring six runs on a sacrifice fly and an infield single. Danielle Davis would follow those two runs with a bases-clearing grand slam to put the Illini up 6-2.

The Illini would handle business defensively holding the Badgers to only two more runs for the remainder of the game while putting two more runs on the board themselves.

Illinois would go on to win this one by a final score of 8-4.
