Best chance they had was to win yesterday so much for today.

Kleiman holding them at bay after coming in for Copeland, who gave up 2 early.

Can’t get any offense going. Mizzou 2-0, Hoosiers batting in bottom of 5

[johnsoniu 6,423]

Mizzou 3-0 but could have been worse. Escaped a bases loaded jam with final out at home on a passed ball, runner ruled out of baseline. Sketchy call but I’ll take it. Hosiers batting in 6th

[johnsoniu 6,423]

Stone homers in 7th to avoid the shutout, but IU falls 5-1. That’s a wrap. 
Good season ladies, nice solid core and a lot of production returning next season.

Saw that one coming.

That's an elite pickup. Was injured last year but hit nearly .375 with double digit home runs two seasons ago. Should fit Shonda Stanton's system perfectly that is offensive heavy and relies on high averages and a lot of bombs.

Should have two years of eligibility, too

I can't help myself, but other teams' offenses rely on low averages and few bombs?

Some systems rely on elite pitching or even a lot of extra bases with less homers. Also lower average with lots of homers can be done as well. 

Lower averages with no dingers is not a system anyone would ever use:).

Non IU Softball news but the Stanford pitcher put herself in the portal.

Signed another player this week. Transferred from Kentucky who struggled but has been good in the past.

Not IU softball related but high school coach of Chanda Bell. One of the best high school coaches I have seen made state twice and was runner up both times.
