COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Tigers rallied for revenge.
No. 7 Missouri softball beat Omaha 5-1 on Sunday, setting up another game between the teams for who would advance from the weekend’s NCAA Tournament Regional.
It took a seventh-inning comeback for Mizzou to secure a victory, tying the game by bringing a runner around before centerfielder Alex Honnold hit a game-winning two-run home run.
The victory was a reversal from MU’s Friday game against the Mavericks, which ended in an extra innings upset and sent the Tigers into the consolation bracket. The tournament is double elimination, which allowed Mizzou to battle back to Sunday’s game with elimination-game victories over both Indiana and Washington.
