Missouri couldn’t shake Indiana State during a first-round NCAA regional battle Friday at University Field.
The No. 10-seeded Tigers grabbed a quick 1-0 lead, but the lead remained there into the fifth inning against a Sycamores squad that entered the regional with a sub-.500 record.
Everything changed in the fifth as coach Ehren Earleywine’s squad broke out for five runs, including a three-run bomb by pinch-hitter Jordan Zolman, in a 7-0 victory.
Mizzou’s win also sets up a Border War resumption for the second straight season.
“It’s always a good game when we play Kansas, and we’re all fired up about it,” senior third baseman Angela Randazzo said.
