It was a historic night at Mizzou Softball Stadium, as Kimberly Wert struck her 48th home run in a Missouri softball uniform to become the Tigers’ all-time home run leader. The blast helped Missouri to its first SEC win, defeating South Carolina 4-2 Friday.
Wert’s solo shot came in the fifth inning to extend Missouri’s lead to 4-2 and give the Tigers breathing room. Wert finished 3 for 3 with a run and two RBI.
“I knew off the bat, I’m not gonna lie, that one felt good,” Wert said. “It felt really special that it was at home — that’s amazing, to do it at home in front of the best fan base.
