One of the things missing from Steve Bieser’s profile in his time as Tiger head coach has been a collection of statement wins. Yes, in baseball even bad teams can down good teams on any given day. However, Missouri has never had a meaningful chance to make a statement about the program.
This weekend’s series against perennial powerhouse LSU provided them an opportunity. And after losing an extra-inning heartbreaker Friday, the Tigers showed their mettle by rallying to take the next two, including a no-doubter on Sunday.
Steve Bieser agreed that this was an important series for the Tigers, calling it a, “statement,” after the game.
