No. 22 LSU Softball Falls 1-0 To Missouri In Series Finale

By ANDRE CHAMPAGNE, Tiger Rag Staff Reporter

The No. 22 LSU softball team was limited to just four hits in a 1-0 shutout loss to Missouri in Saturday’s series finale.

With the defeat, LSU falls to 25-13 overall and 6-9 in SEC play, while Missouri improves to 21-20 and 5-7 in conference action.

The Tigers threatened in the seventh inning after sophomore outfielder Alix Franklin drew a leadoff walk. Sophomore first baseman Tori Edwards then lined out, and Missouri doubled up Franklin following a baserunning miscue. Sophomore left fielder Char Lorenz kept LSU alive with a single, but senior catcher Maci Bergeron grounded out to end the game.
