A pair of Mizzou comebacks, one that came up short and one that was successful, set up a crucial rubber match on Saturday between Missouri and Georgia, and it was the Bulldogs (27-9, 7-8 Southeastern Conference) that emerged victorious, taking the series.
Charlie Condon, the nation’s best player, gave the Tigers (16-21, 5-10) problems all weekend, registering multi-hit games in each of the three matchups. However, the Tigers never said die in the series and even took the middle game thanks to a late-inning comeback.
