COLUMBIA — Missouri sophomore softball player Jenna Marston has proven to be as comfortable on the baseball diamond as she is on the softball field.

Marston was named to the All-Tournament Team after helping the USA Baseball Women’s National Team win a bronze medal in the International Baseball Federation’s Women’s World Cup this weekend in Maracay, Venezuela.
