Mizzou Baseball Drops Game Two Against No. 6 Texas Despite Six-Run Seventh Inning
Texas built a 10-0 lead and finished with 14 hits as Mizzou’s seven-run rally in the seventh fell short.
On Friday, the Texas Longhorns clinched the series against the Missouri Tigers with an 11-6 victory at UFCU Disch-Falk Field, handing Missouri its 23rd Southeastern Conference loss.
An early 10-0 lead fueled the Longhorns, bolstered by a grand slam from Carson Tinney and a solo home run by Casey Borba, before the Tigers scored six runs in the seventh.
Pitcher Luke Harrison allowed just one run over 6 innings before being removed in the seventh, while Texas collected 14 hits and limited Missouri to six.
Missouri coach Kerrick Jackson told Tiger Radio postgame, "Can't spot a team 10 runs," as the Tigers attempt to salvage a win before the Southeastern Conference tournament on Tuesday.
Saturday's regular-season finale takes place at 2 p.m. in Austin, where the Tigers will look to build momentum before the tournament begins.
