    [ad_1]

    Indiana, the No. 2 seed, hit three home runs in beating the Gophers 5-3 on Friday afternoon in the Big Ten softball tournament in Urbana, Ill. Minnesota had a 12-game winning streak.

    Taylor Minnick’s two-run homer in the first inning off Autumn Pease — the Big Ten Pitcher of the Year — put the Hoosiers ahead 2-0. Sarah Stone hit a solo homer for Indiana in the third and Brianna Copeland another solo in the sixth.

    The Gophers scored one run in the second on Delanie Cox’s RBI single and two in the fourth on Breezy Burnett’s bases-loaded walk and Kayla Chavez’s flyout.

    Minnesota (37-17) stranded seven runners on base. Pease took the loss, giving up four runs on five hits in three innings. She struck out four, walked none.

    Reliever Heather Johnson got the win for Indiana (42-15), pitching 3 ⅔ scoreless innings. She did not allow a hit, struck out one, walked two.

    Indiana, which lost two of three to the Gophers in a series in Minneapolis earlier this season, advanced to the conference tournament title game for the first time in program history.
