In the biggest at-bat of the season so far, Missouri State coach Keith Guttin wasn't worried.
The Bears had climbed back from a 3-0 deficit Thursday against Southern Illinois to tie the game at 3-3, but they needed one more hit to break through.
Enter Jake Burger.
The Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year crushed a grand slam over the left-field wall in the bottom of the seventh inning to spark a 13-3 Bears win.
Guttin said he felt confident when he saw Burger step up to the plate.
