From the Official Site
EVANSTON, Ill. - Courtney Pruner drove home three runs on two RBI doubles as the No. 11-ranked and Big Ten-leading Ohio State softball team defeated 12th-ranked Northwestern, 7-6, Saturday afternoon at Sharon J. Drysdale Field. The loss snapped a 29-game regular-season home winning streak for Northwestern, dating back to April 15, 2007, dropping its record to 29-12, 12-5 in the Big Ten, while the Buckeyes improve to 41-7 overall and 13-2 in the conference with their 15th win in the last 16 games.
Pruner also made the game-winning catch with a diving snag of Nicole Pauly?s fly to right field. The Wildcats scored two and had placed the potential game-tying run on second with no outs, but Ohio State forced three-consecutive outs to retire the side, ending with Pruner?s catch, in the bottom of the seventh.
