Baseball: Missouri gets first SEC win, drops series to UK

Missouri played its most competitive baseball of the year this past weekend and tallied its first SEC win of season, but it wasn’t enough for a series win as the Tigers dropped the weekend to a streaking Kentucky team.

The Tigers got plenty of strong pitching performances, but poorly timed self-inflicted mistakes hurt the Tigers in three games that all either went to extras or decided by a run.

Friday

Seeking its first SEC win of the season, Missouri pushed Kentucky to the brink on Friday night but ultimately fell 9-4 in 11 innings.

The Tigers trailed 3-1 before plating a pair of runs courtesy oftwo wild pitches in the seventh inning.
