Missouri (2-3) opened its season at the NFCA Leadoff Classic, flashing potential for a strong season ahead. Additionally, a potential star seemed to emerge for the Tigers.

After sitting out of the season opener against Penn State, freshman pitcher Abby Carr showed out through the final four games of the tournament. For her efforts, Carr was named to the NFCA Leadoff Classic All-Tournament Team.

Carr was slotted as Missouri's designated hitter in the Tigers' second game. She had a shaky start, along with the rest of her team, matching up with No. 5 Oregon in a 3-0 loss. Missouri was shut out while the Ducks pitched a no-hitter. Carr struck out twice in three at-bats.

The following morning, Carr took the mound for the first time in a Missouri uniform, quickly finding her footing. Facing off with No. 21 Liberty, Carr and the Tigers dismantled the Flames for a 13-2 thrashing. Carr pitched the complete game, allowing just two hits and two runs across the six-inning outing. At the plate, she recorded her first career rbi.

Carr took the field for the first time in the nightcap following her pitching debut. She stepped up to the plate three more times and closed out the day by adding a hit and two more crucial rbi in the Tigers' 9-6 win over BYU.

Carr returned to the mound for the Tigers' tournament finale loss to South Alabama. However, she held her own on the bump and at the plate. Carr allowed just one run across four innings and tallied her first collegiate home run. Yet, Missouri dropped the game 5-4.

Carr and co. will be back in action against UCF at 5 p.m on Feb. 11 in Orlando. Fla.
