Mizzou won Game 1, 10-0 in six innings.
Lauren Rice had five strikes in five innings pitched before Nalani Scates took over for her. The Tigers' bats were rolling with 13 hits and home runs from Regan Nash, Kolby Romaine and Kara Decker. Lots of new faces got playing time today, including Delaney McDannold, the former Rock Bridge standout, who is just really, really fast.
Game 2 coming in 20 minutes, and I will have updates here.
