Mizzou Baseball failed to find consistent hitting or pitching Tuesday night in Springfield, losing 11-0 to Missouri State in a seven inning run-rule. The Tigers defeated the Bears in Columbia only one week earlier but dropped the second game of a home-and-home.
The highlight of the game was Sam Horn’s return. Mizzou’s dual-sport hurler had not appeared in a game since Feb. 25, 2023, against TCU, missing all of last season after tearing his UCL and requiring Tommy John surgery.
He got off to a slow start, allowing a leadoff single and some hard contact, but showed the talent which made him a candidate to go in the first few rounds of the MLB Draft out of high school.
