Missouri's at home on Wednesday taking on St. Louis. Starting lineup for Tigers: CF Gadbois, RF Crane, 2B Fagan, 3B Sanchez, SS Genovese, 1B Roth, C Mack, DH Zolman, LF Fleming. SP: Tori Finucane.
Live thread:
Top 1: Finucane goes 1-2-3. No runs/hits/walks/errors. Score: 0-0
Bottom 1: Amanda Sanchez hits into fielder's choice, scores Emily Crane. Score: 1-0 Mizzou
Top 2: Finucane gets into bases loaded jam, strikes out Madeline Brungardt with two down to escape the jam with no damage. Finucane's pitch count climbing early. Score: 1-0 Mizzou
Bottom 2: Big inning for the Tigers. Two-run homer for Kirsten Mack makes it 3-0, sac fly from Fagan and RBI single from Sanchez make it 5-0. Tigers strand runners on second/third, but take commanding lead. Kayla Kingsley pinch runs for Gadbois, stays in game to play center.
Top 3: Billikens finally push a run across in another trying inning for Finucane. RBI single by Lore scored Friedman. Despite not having best stuff, Finucane still managing to limit damage. Score: 5-1 Mizzou.
Bottom 3: Leadoff walk by Roth undone by 6-3 GIDP from Mack. With Zolman on first (walk), Fleming flies out to right to end inning. Score: 5-1 Mizzou
Top 4: Finucane strikes out first batter, gets pulled for Baxter. Baxter proceeds to give up a hit, a walk, a hit-by-pitch and a run without recording an out. Earleywine turns to Lowary with bases loaded 1 out. After striking out first batter, Lowary leaves one over the middle for MacFarlane, who hits a grand slam to give Billikens a 6-5 lead. Lowary gets final out without any more damage. Because of an error during Baxter's appearance, none of the runs were earned. Baxter charged with 4 R, Lowary with 1 unearned. Score: 6-5 St. Louis
Bottom 4: Kayla Kingsley leads things off with a single, advances to second on a throwing error. Two batters later, Sanchez brings her home on an RBI single to tie things up. Score: 6-6
Top 5: Lowary strands a lone runner striking out three. Score: 6-6
Bottom 5: Walk by Roth, single by Mack started off inning with runners on first/second with no outs. Walters/Reed pinch run for the two, and on a double steal, Walters reaches home on a throwing error. Reed then scores on an RBI bunt single by Kingsley with two outs. Score: 8-6 Mizzou
Top 6: Lowary goes 1-2-3, picks up fifth strikeout. Score: 8-6 Mizzou
Bottom 6: Single by Sanchez, groundout by Genovese score Crane, Fagan. Roth pops into double play to end the inning. Score: 10-6 Mizzou
Top 7: Lowary walks, hits first two batters, but game called for weather. Tigers win 10-6, Lowary gets the W. Lowary's final line: W, 2.2 IP, 3 H, 1 BB, 1 HBP.
Gutty performance by a Missouri team that didn't have its A game today. Will have to play much better in Georgia later this week.
