Mizzou Baseball slips late, loses series opener to Evansville

Mizzou Baseball suffered a second major upset in as many weeks, dropping its series opener Friday 7-6 to Evansville. The Purple Aces entered the game with a 1-6 record and recently lost to Kentucky 24-3.

Both sides got on the board early with solo home runs. Cal McGinnis hit a two out homer down the right field line in the opening half, then Mateo Serna responded with a no doubt home run to right-center field in the bottom of the first to make it 1-1.
