No. 17 Mizzou sweeps Illinois in Braggin’ Rights matchup

CHAMPAIGN, Il. (KMIZ)

The Mizzou softball claimed Braggin' Rights over Illinois with a two-game sweep on Wednesday.

The Tigers took the first game 7-6 over the Fighting Illini and followed it up with another win, 10-2 in five innings.

Freshman Kara Daly had another huge outing for MU, as the Jefferson City native hit her sixth and seventh home runs over just seven games in the first game of the afternoon. Game one was Daly's first multi-home run game as a Tiger. The freshman is batting .351 average through the first 22 games of the season, as she has played in 19 of those matchups.

In MU's second win of the afternoon, Jordan Weber tossed a complete, five inning game with two strikeouts and just two runs allowed.

Up next - Larissa Anderson and the Tigers will return home to host Northwestern, Ball State, and Stanford in the Mizzou Classic March 18-March 20.
