The Tigers had not been seeing Jacob Cantleberry’s best on the mound over his last few starts.
His ERA sat as low as 2.62 after an April 5 loss to Kentucky, but over his past two outings, his ERA rose to a season-worst 4.08. This was not the Cantleberry Missouri had grown accustomed to seeing through the first half of the season, but with South Carolina coming to town for the weekend, Cantleberry looked to bounce back with a great performance against the Gamecocks.
Turns out, he only needed a quality start.
Cantleberry pitched six strong innings, striking out six while walking two and allowing just two runs.
