It took the Missouri State baseball team a few innings to get its offense going.
But the Bears' pitching staff didn’t need much help.
Jordan Knutson, Jake Fromson and Bryan Young teamed up to throw MSU’s third-straight shutout as the Bears claimed a 5-0 win during their home opener on Friday against Central Arkansas at Hammons field.
Strong pitching performances aren't new for MSU, which improved to 8-1 on the year with its sixth straight win.
The work of Knutson, Fromson and Young led to the first streak of three consecutive shutouts for an MSU pitching staff in the 54-year history of the program.
