Mizzou Softball is back home in the Show Me State, and I can’t tell you how good it felt to see them play in person. In front of approximately 1200 fans on a Friday afternoon, the Tigers tore through the University of St. Thomas, who’s playing their first season in D-I after moving up from the D-III ranks this year. The Tigers knocked around the Tommies’ pitchers for 16 hits and 13 runs, including nine — yes, NINE — extra base hits.
When asked about the crowd, freshman Kara Daly, playing in front of home fans for the first the first time in a Tiger uniform was seriously impressed, called the atmosphere “insane” and “unimaginable,” saying it was just unreal to actually be playing on the team instead of being in the crowd.
