Big series for Mizzou this weekend as it hosts No. 4 Florida in the last regular-season series before the SEC Tournament. The Tigers are sitting at No. 11 in conference standings. Even if they get swept by Florida this weekend, the only reason the Tigers will miss out on the tournament they're hosting is if Ole Miss wins 2 of 3 against No. 5 Georgia.

Mizzou starting lineup: Pierce (1B), Nash (LF), Sanchez (3B), Kessinger (DP), Romaine (RF), Burnside (SS), Wilmes (2B), Martin (CF), Moore (C)
Pitching: Madi Norman

Florida starting lineup: Hannah Adams (2B), Amanda Lorenz (LF), Nicole DeWitt (3B), Kayli Kvistad (1B), Jordan Robers (DP), Janelle Wheaton (C), Jordan Matthews (RF), Sophie Reynoso (SS), Alex Voss (CF)
Pitching: Kelly Barnhill
