Saturday’s matchup features a double-header, due to forecasted inclement weather on Sunday. With its recent victory, LSU extended its all-time lead in the series, 10-6.
This season, however, Missouri has played one of the toughest schedules, with 22 games against ranked opponents. Of those 22 opponents, 14 were ranked in the top-10.
Similar to baseball, the softball team’s wins have ebbed and flowed. There hasn’t been any real consistency throughout the season. Having lost its last four games, Mizzou sits on a 27-22 (5-13 SEC) record.
While the season is nearing its conclusion, the Tigers hope to finish strong, and lead into the 2018 season on a high note. Right now, the 17th-ranked LSU Tigers stand in their way.
Today’s game at 4:30 can be seen on ESPN2; the 7:00 game will be broadcast on ESPN.
