WERT ALERT

HATTI HACKS
Hatti Moore became just the second player in Mizzou history to hit three home runs in a single game against Texas A&M. Her third blast of the night was an eighth inning walkoff shot.
BROOKE’S BRILLIANCE
Graduate student Brooke Wilmes currently holds a 10-game hitting streak. She is batting .532 with three doubles, six home runs, 12 RBI and 16 runs scored over that stretch. Wilmes kept the streak alive despite not recording a hit in the final game of the series against the Aggies. She walked three times and was hit by a pitch so she did not record an official at bat.
