Congrats to the Mizzou Women's Softball Team

No, the Tigers didn't win the Women's College World Series but they played extremely well before being eliminated from this year's NCAA Women's College World Series.

The Tigers tried to bounce back from an opening round defeat to Florida by winning their way through the consolation bracket. They defeated fellow Big 12 conference team Oklahoma and eliminated the Sooners. But, then the Tigers ran into outstanding pitching from Big 12 member Baylor and ultimately lost 1-0 in 13 innings. That ended the Tigers season at 49-12.


This was the third consecutive trip to the WCWS for Mizzou. And the team took a step this year they hadn't taken previously by knocking another team out of the tournament. So, with that to build on the future looks bright for the Mizzou women and Head Coach Ehren Earleywine.
