Defense delights, McCann mystifies LSU bats as Mizzou picks up series win

Center fielder Alex Honnold drifted to her left, tracked back to the wall and leapt to make the biggest catch of the Missouri softball season Saturday at Mizzou Softball Satdium.

Then, just four batters later, right fielder Kayley Lenger followed Honnold’s act with one of the most impactful catches of her young career. Behind the duo’s defensive gems, and another strong effort in relief from Marissa McCann, No. 16 MU secured a series win over No. 3 LSU with a 3-2 victory.

“I thought we played extremely well, all the way through,” Missouri coach Larissa Anderson said.
