Commute: Mizzou Softball sees season come to a close
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about Mizzou Softball! This wasn’t how Mizzou Softball’s season was supposed to end. All the Tigers needed were six outs against Auburn to secure eligibility for an at-large postseason— something they haven’t done since their 2024 Super Regional appearance. Then the wheels fell off.

NCAA Hope Remains Alive
I will be honest, friends. I thought the season was over. I put the chances that Mizzou Softball would be able to go into Saturday’s game and get a win when facing the behemoth that is Tennessee’s pitching staff at slim at best. I know I was not alone in this assessment, and since my […]
