GAME DAY!
Today, at 3:30pm (on ESPN3 if you’re streaming the game), the Tigers will host the Illinois-Chicago Flames in regional play for the start of the NCAA Division I Softball Tournament. Win today, and Missouri will face the winner of Northern Iowa/Iowa State, which kicks off before the Tigers’ game at 1pm. Lose, and they’ll play the loser of the 1pm game. Obviously, we are rooting for the first scenario.
Anthony Kristensen of the Missourian dove into the matchup a bit more in a great article, talking about the power and all-around great play of two-time Horizon League Player of the Year, Kayla Wedl, who I mentioned in this piece earlier in the week.
