Mizzou softball defeats IU Washington to advance to NCAA Regional final
COLUMBIA 一 Survive and advance is the name of the game and Mizzou did just that on Saturday by defeating and eliminating Indiana and Washington in consecutive games at Mizzou Softball Stadium for the right to play in the NCAA Columbia Regional on Sunday. After losing to Omaha 3-1 on Friday, Missouri played Indiana in the bracket's first win-or-go-home game, with the Tigers getting off to a quick 2-0 first-inning lead before eventually securing a 5-1 win behind a dominant pitching performance from ace pitcher Laurin Krings. Krings forced nine flyouts and seven groundouts.
