Border War revival goes to Missouri softball — Tigers beat Jayhawks, 6-3

By Staff     May 17, 2014

**Columbia, Mo. -** A pair of bombs won the first Border War since Missouri left the Big 12 for the SEC in 2012.

Tigers Kirsten Mack and Angela Randazzo each smacked a two-run home run against longtime rival Kansas University in an NCAA Tournament regional at Mizzou’s University field on Saturday afternoon.

Although Jayhawks sophomore Chaley Brickey hit a two-run homer of her own in the bottom of the seventh, Mizzou out-slugged KU and out-hit the Jayhawks, 13-7, to improve to 2-0 at the regional.

Kansas could get a rematch with the Tigers Sunday afternoon, but to do so, the Jayhawks will have to defeat Nebraska tonight at 8:25 in an elimination game.

*In the first head-to-head meeting between the Jayhawks and Tigers since Mizzou left the Big 12 for the SEC, Kansas was the home team on the scoreboard for this afternoon’s regional rivalry game.*
