Mizzou softball staves off elimination in NCAA regional

COLUMBIA, MO. — The Missouri softball team left Saturday looking for more offense, but the Tigers should be grateful to have another day to continue the search.

Facing elimination in NCAA regional play late Saturday night, Mizzou held off Missouri State 2-0 on its home field to set up Sunday’s regional final against a perennial power.

Arizona, making an NCAA record 35th consecutive national tournament appearance, blanked the Tigers 2-0 earlier in the day and needs only one more win here to leave with a regional championship. The Tigers (38-21), the regional’s top seed, must beat the No.
