Mizzou Links for Wednesday, May 1
We knew on Monday that Mizzou came in at No. 10 on the latest Softball America rankings. Meanwhile on D1Softball the Tigers come in at No. 15 (the lower ranking probably factors into Monday night’s loss to Mississippi State).

Perhaps the most important ranking in terms of their NCAA Tournament seeding is RPI — where Mizzou is currently is No. 9 , still putting them in a good spot to host a regional despite their under .500 conference record at the moment.
And if they are to host a regional, the Tigers can make for a tough home environment. Mizzou ranked 4th in the NCAA this season on average attendance with 2,520 fans visiting Mizzou Softball Stadium.
One of the best atmospheres in the country ️
Thank you Tiger Fans!! #OwnIt #MIZ pic.twitter.com/w2Tg8DZzlh

ICYMI on late Monday night: Brandon Haynes had the recap of the Mississippi State series finale.
ICYMI: #Mizzou softball was one strike away from its first series sweep of the season, but Mississippi State rallied for three runs in the seventh to shock the Tigers. MU (37-14, 10-11) fell to 0-7 in SEC series finales with the loss.
