The Border War isn’t quite finished this weekend.
No. 10 seed Missouri won round one Saturday during NCAA regional action at University Field, but Kansas later survived an elimination game to set up a championship rematch.
Tigers senior shortstop Corrin Genovese helped put the Jayhawks on the ropes with a sliding stop to polish off a 5-3 victory in the winner’s bracket game.
“I’ve never seen a shortstop like her, so, when I saw that ball, I started jumping, because I knew maybe this was the end of the game,” said MU starting pitcher Tori Finucane, who struck out four and worked around nine hits and four walks in a 129-pitch complete game.
