MU softball squanders late lead vs. Florida, misses SEC Tournament in Columbia

After hitting a batter with a pitch and walking another, Missouri junior pitcher Danielle Baumgartner worked herself into a tricky situation. In a must-win situation, her team held a slim 4-3 lead in the seventh inning and was just two outs away sealing its biggest upset victory of the season and a spot in the SEC Tournament in Columbia.

But Florida senior third baseman Nicole DeWitt ripped a line drive single into center field to plate the tying run from second. After a long battle in the next at-bat, UF first baseman Kayli Kvistad mashed a no-doubt three-run home run over the right field fence.
