At the beginning of April, Missouri baseball appeared to turn a corner.
A three-game winning streak displayed the Tigers' potential despite being a younger squad than most of their Southeastern Conference competition.
But six straight losses followed an April 9 victory over South Carolina, and things didn't look promising to buck the trend Friday night as No. 21 Georgia came to Columbia — the Tigers hadn't defeated the Bulldogs at home since May 14, 2016.
Missouri starting pitcher Seth Halvorsen's first pitch of the game unintentionally sailed behind the head of Georgia leadoff hitter Josh McAllister.
