COLUMBIA — The ball jumped off Missouri junior Megan Christopher's bat, and she started to trot to first base. The ball looked like it was headed to a gap in the outfield, but a sudden clank let Christopher know the ball had hit the ceiling of the indoor complex and she was quickly called out by the home plate umpire. She stormed to the Tigers' bench, slamming her bat to the ground and tossing her helmet against the backstop.
