Series History vs. Florida

Mizzou trails in the all-time series against Florida, 9-4.
In the teams' last meeting, the Gators tallied a shortened two-game series sweep in Gainesville, Florida, a season ago (March 11-12, 2017).
This weekend marks Florida's first visit to Columbia, Missouri, in three years, as it took two of three contests over Mizzou at University Field (May 1-3, 2015). The two teams closed that year's regular season as well with Mizzou salvaging a game with a 3-2 series finale eight-inning victory.

Mizzou Pitching Steps Up in Four-Game Winning Streak

Mizzou enters Friday evening's series opener on a four-game winning streak. The Tigers posted a pair of non-conference doubleheader sweeps last week (at Western Illinois - April 25 // vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff - April 28).
Mizzou's pitching staff stole the show over its recent stretch, posting four consecutive shutouts in the circle. It marked the program's first four-straight wins via shutout since 2012.
Dating back to the conclusion of Mizzou's series finale at No. 12 South Carolina (April 22), the team's pitching staff has tossed 29-straight scoreless innings. Last week, Madi Norman, Lauren Rice, Danielle Baumgartner and Nalani Scates limited the Leathernecks & Golden Lions hitters to zero runs and 12 hits (.130 BAA) over 27.0 innings pitched.

Tigers Flourishing at Mizzou Softball Stadium This Season

Mizzou possesses a strong 13-4 record this year at Mizzou Softball Stadium, including four of its six conference wins. The Tigers have taken down No. 8 Auburn (twice), No. 13 LSU and No. 20 Mississippi State in front of their passionate fan base.
Both the Mizzou lineup and pitching staff have fared better in home games this season. Over 17 games in Mid-Missouri, the Tigers' offense is hitting .289 with 93 runs scored, 30 doubles, 19 home runs, 87 RBI, .376 OBP and .495 SLG%.
In the circle, Mizzou's five-man pitching staff has posted a 2.27 ERA in 117.0 IP while limiting batters to a .242 BAA.
A whopping six Tigers (Kolby Romaine - .385, Brooke Wilmes - .347, Trenity Edwards - .345, Amanda Sanchez - .342, Cayla Kessinger - .341 and Rylee Pierce - .313) have an impressive .300-plus average in home contests this year.
