Facing Texas Southern at home, Missouri was supposed to hold serve, but doing so is much easier said than done. Texas Southern gave the Tigers all they could handle multiple times this weekend, but Mizzou found a way to win all three games.
Perhaps the only stress free game of the weekend was Saturday’s early game. The first game of a double-header, Mizzou rode its ace Chandler Murphy to and 8-0 victory. Murphy pitched his best game in black and gold to date, throwing six shutout innings and striking out five while allowing just two hits and two walks.
