Despite lightning playing spoiler to No. 5 seed Missouri softball's game against No. 4 Arkansas on Thursday, the Tigers picked up right where they left off on Friday.
By rule, if a softball game is suspended and resumed at a later date, the game must restart in the exact situation it was left off in. That proved advantageous for Missouri, who had runners on the corners with no outs in the top of the fifth when play stopped on Thursday. However, similarly to the weather in Auburn, Al., the game wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for Missouri, as they were faced with peril in the bottom of the sixth. After Cierra Harrison had dominated Arkansas over the first five innings of action, she gave up a single, then hit Bri Ellis with a pitch. Harrison was relieved for Marissa McCann, who became stuck in a bases-loaded jam after a line drive by Cylie Halvorson deflected off the glove of Laird.
The second batter was Miller, and the two star freshman went back-and-forth. The entire at-bat lasted 11 pitches, with Miller coming inches away from a grand slam on a tenth pitch. However, like her teammate that she succeeded in the lineup, Miller was fooled by an off-speed pitch, this time for a strikeout.
