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: Last week, we briefly discussed the Columbia Regional matchup between No. 16 Mizzou and Bradley that took place on May 16. Mizzou gave up a strong 4-0 lead to Bradley in the top of the seventh inning, then fought back to tie the game at 5-5 and force extra innings. Genovese was busy, doubling in the bottom of the seventh and coming across the plate to tie the game. Strong defense (of course) followed in the top of eighth inning, setting up the chance to win the game in the bottom frame.

THE PLAY: Genovese came to the plate with the bases loaded and one out, thanks to a walk by Taylor Gadbois, single by Emily Crane and another walk issued to Angela Randazzo. The Tiger shortstop swatted the very first pitch she saw through the left side for the game-winning, RBI-single, bringing home Gadbois from third base.

THE OUTCOME: Mizzou won 6-5 (we just sort of described that up above). The University Field crowd goes wild!

THE GIF: Enjoy!
