Coming into this series, I highlighted the sneaky nature of this New Jersey Tech team. The Highlanders have played tough competition in each series this year, and they feature multiple future draft picks on their team. They put up a strong fight on the road at Taylor Stadium this weekend, but when push came to shove, it was Missouri that rose to the occasion and won two of three.
Thanks to some weather complications in Columbia this weekend, Friday ended up being a double-header. In the early game, the story was Missouri ace Chandler Murphy. After throwing six shutout innings last weekend, Murphy followed it up by throwing seven innings of one-run ball.
