Is two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell's Giants tenure destined to end?
Following his return from injury July 9, San Francisco Giants starter Blake Snell pitched just as the club had expected when they signed the ace to a two-year, $62M deal in the offseason. In nine starts since coming off the injured list, the 31-year-old left-hander has allowed eight runs and averaged 6 1/3 innings and 8.3 strikeouts per appearance. But Snell, a victim of poor run support, has won only two of those games.

PowerMizzou - Softball needs late season push to continue NCAA streak
Missouri softball head coach Larissa Anderson started off this season with the understanding that the pitching staff needed to be the anchor for this team.

PowerMizzou - Offense abandons Tigers in softball sweep by Kentucky
A rough SEC opener only got rougher on Sunday afternoon, as Missouri lost all three games of its first conference series against Kentucky while scoring no runs in 21 innings.

PowerMizzou - Softball wins home opener over in-state foe
Missouri started off a five-game home stand the right way on Wednesday afternoon, staving off a late rally from Kansas City to win 11-5.

Jackson Lovich had just reached base on his turf-burning single through the left side of the infield when a ground ball to the shortstop forced his return to the dugout on a forceout at second base.

PowerMizzou - Tiger women set sights on the postseason
With the regular season in the books, Mizzou's hope for an NCAA Tournament bid hangs by a thread with a first round game against Arkansas on Thursday morning in Greenville, South Carolina.

Missouri brought the heat back from its series in Florida to the home opener against Lindenwood on Tuesday afternoon. The Tigers used a seven-run second inning to jumpstart a 17-2 victory.

PowerMizzou - Tigers outlast Bulldogs in much needed win
Though squarely out of NCAA tournament consideration, a second-quarter run and a gritty, defensive-minded effort led the way to a 75-62 win for Missouri over Mississippi State on Thursday night. It was just the second victory in the past 10 games for the Tigers. Missouri held on late in the fourth with a stingy half-court defense that forced 20 turnovers after a slow start to the game. “This looked like the team that I’m used to,” head coach Robin Pingeton said about her team’s attitude.
PowerMizzou - Tiger softball ready for another run
A year removed from a first-round elimination in the NCAA tournament, Missouri is gearing up for its fifth season under head coach Larissa Anderson.

PowerMizzou - Tigers land first punch, knock out Vanderbilt
Early in the second quarter of Missouri’s Thursday-night matchup with Vanderbilt, weaving through and around pursuing Vanderbilt defenders, Mama Dembele couldn’t be stopped. Changing directions, shifting gears, stopping on a dime and then turning quickly out of a double team to look for an open shooter, the junior guard flicked a pass back behind her to a cutting Lauren Hansen who sliced to the basket for an open layup to extend the Missouri lead to 16 halfway through the first quarter.
PowerMizzou - Mizzou fades late in loss to Vols
After a series of precarious runs in the first half to keep the game within striking distance, the Missouri Tigers came out of the locker in the second hall gunning for their first lead of the game. After Haley Troup fed Jayla Kelly for a pick and roll layup, two key defensive stops on the other side of the floor led to back-to-back three pointers from Hayley Frank.
PowerMizzou - Lady Tigers look to break three-game losing streak
As if they hadn't had enough challenges in the paint in their losses in weeks prior, the Missouri women's basketball team welcomes a traditional power to town on Sunday. The Tennessee Volunteers will be a particular problem for the Tigers in the frontcourt. Tennessee (15-6, 7-0 SEC) is the third-best rebounding team in the SEC, trailing just No. 1 South Carolina and No. 3 LSU.

Buckey sisters reunite with Missouri volleyball Original
