Mizzou Softball's First Team All-SEC infielder Corrin Genovese has a knack for making "GIF-worthy" plays. What is a "GIF"? GIF (graphics interchange format) is a common way to share images on the Internet, often times coming in the form of animation. Why would we need an animation? Highlights! And Genovese creates plenty of them.
SETTING THE STAGE: The Columbia Regional (May 16-18) started with a riveting game between No. 16 Mizzou and Bradley on May 16. The Braves stormed back in the top of the seventh to wipe away a 4-0 Tiger lead, replacing it with a 5-4 BU advantage. Mizzou tied the game, 5-5, in the bottom of the inning to force extras. The tying run was Genovese, who doubled and was scored with a sacrifice fly by teammate Kirsten Mack.
THE PLAY: So then there was the tense eighth inning, and of course, there was Genovese's glove. The second out the Tigers needed to keep the Braves off the base paths was snagged on an outstanding play by the shortstop.
THE OUTCOME: Mizzou went on to win, 6-5, with the game-winning RBI-single coming from, you guessed it, Genovese. That is a GIF for another day (well, a Friday)...
THE GIF: Enjoy!
