Missouri outduels Texas A&M 12-7 in rain-drenched slugfest to start SEC Tournament

No. 10 seed Missouri baseball continued its seven-game winning streak as they upset No. 7 seed Texas A&M 12-7 in the single-elimination first round of the 2017 Southeastern Conference baseball tournament in Hoover, Alabama, on Tuesday.

For the Tigers, junior ace Tanner Houck made the start after coach Steve Bieser and his staff chose to rest the right-handed pitcher in the Tennessee series last weekend. Nonetheless, starting pitching wouldn’t play much of a factor in this game.

Houck looked completely different from the pitcher fans saw in his past two starts, in which he dominated against Vanderbilt and South Carolina.
