Mizzou softball sweeps first, only conference series of the season

Prior the outbreak of the coronavirus, Missouri softball was headed for a great season. Due to being ineligible for postseason play, winning the SEC held more weight for Missouri. The only series Missouri was able to play in conference was its home opener against Ole Miss. The Tigers won all three games with little to no competition. Missouri dominated the Rebels, which looked to be a foreshadow for SEC play. However, due to recent circumstances, these possibilities will go unanswered. I also wrote game stories for two mid week games before and after Missouri’s series against Ole Miss. One story recaps the Tigers run-ruling Missouri-Kansas City, while the other discusses Missouri’s loss against Illinois in its final game of the season. Here are the stories:
