Harrison’s no-hitter powers Mizzou past SIUE

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Cierra Harrison tossed her second career no-hitter in the Tigers' 8-0 win over SIUE.

This is the 48th time in school history that a Mizzou pitcher has held the opponnent hitless, the last one also coming from the right arm of Harrison on Feb. 16, 2024. In her five innings of work, the senior notched six strikeouts and walked just two in the 17 batters she faced.

On the offensive end, the Tigers lead the Cougars for nearly the length of the game. Stefania Abruscato hit her fourth home run in 10 days to give Mizzou the lead in just the second at bat of the game.

Abby Carr added another run later in the first, and Madison Uptegrove tacked on another pair of scores on her first triple of the year.

Abruscato picked up her third RBI of the day in the fourth on a center field single to bring in run number six of the game. An error from the home side allowed Abby Hay to make it a 7-0 game, and on a sacrafise fly, Madison Uptegrove brought in run number eight, to secure a run rule win for the Tigers.

Up Next - Mizzou travels to Auburn for its third conference series of the year. First pitch for game one is set for 6 p.m. on Friday, March 27.
