It’s been a tough few weeks for the Mizzou Softball and Baseball squads.
Larissa Anderson’s team, once ranked in the low teens, has struggled mightily since mid-March. After sweeping Illinois for Braggin’ Rights, the Tigers have gone 1-7, including a series sweep at the hands of Ole Miss and a midweek pounding from 12-20 Kansas. Their record had fallen all the way to 19-13, a shocking turn for a team that expected to host an NCAA Super Regional at the season’s beginning.
The Tigers got right just in time. After battling to take the first two games of their weekend series against 18-17 South Carolina, Mizzou was able to secure a sweep on Sunday, taking the final game of the series 2-1.
