Baxter and Baumgartner Shine at #1 Florida

Despite Mizzou's two losses this past weekend at No. 1 Florida (March 11-12), a pair of Tiger hurlers shined in the circle. Senior Cheyenne Baxter and sophomore Danielle Baumgartner each did an outstanding job limiting the Gators' bats over the two-day stretch.
In the series opener, Baumgartner entered in relief and posted 2.2 shutout innings while allowing only one hit.
The Mexico, Mo., native has recently turned into the form Tigers fans witnessed during her stellar 2016 freshman campaign. In fact, over her past five appearances, she has produced a 0.57 ERA with 12 Ks over 12.1 IP.
On Sunday evening, Baxter turned in one of the finest starts in her black and gold career. After allowing an earned run in the opening frame, she responded in a big way by shutting down the Gators' offense the final five innings.
Overall, the Norborne, Mo., native pitched 6.0 effective innings and allowed only five hits, one earned run and one walk.
