Instant Analysis: LSU softball falls again in series opener at Missouri
LSU softball’s stretch of futility continued on Friday night as it suffered a series-opening 10-9 loss to Missouri.
It was a high-scoring affair, with each team scoring three runs in the first inning. Missouri added four more in the second, but LSU retook the lead with three spots in the third and fourth innings, which included a Raeleen Gutierrez homer in the latter frame.
But a homer and an RBI single tied it for Missouri in the bottom of the fourth, and in the bottom of the sixth, and an RBI single gave the Tigers the lead for good.
LSU will look to bounce back in Game 2 on Saturday, which is set to begin at 2 p.m. CT, as it hopes to avoid a series loss.
