Jake Burger: Watch out for 25-5 Bears this weekend

Jake Burger has a message for anyone expecting to see this weekend the Missouri State baseball team that lost 14 of 18 games during a midseason stretch.

That team isn’t making the trip to Terre Haute, Ind., for the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.

“It gives us a chance to show who we really are, and show the Valley that this season was a little bit of a fluke, in terms of the regular season,” the sophomore third baseman said before the team hit the road to start defense of its conference title.

The Bears (34-19 overall) are seeded seventh in the eight-team field, and open the league tournament at 6:30 p.
