Cottam's grand slam sinks Missouri in wild game

Tristan Pompey faced the left-field fence, jogged sideways toward third base and pumped his arms in the air in celebration.

With the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the eighth, Kentucky's left fielder, on board at second base, watched first baseman Kole Cottam crush Bryce Montes de Oca's second pitch well past the fence in left.

Before Cottam got his bat on Montes de Oca's 1-0 offering, Missouri led 10-7. The Tigers had battled back from a 6-1 deficit and reeled off nine unanswered runs. Everything was in place for the Tigers to pick up a critical road series win against No.
