Missouri and Northern Kentucky played three baseball games at Taylor Stadium this weekend, but the three games couldn’t have been more different.
On Friday the Norse topped Missouri 3-1 in a pitcher’s duel. Saturday the Tigers scored four touchdowns and topped the Norse 28-10 in 7 innings. Then in Sunday’s decider, NKU got up big early, but Missouri (5-6) rallied all the way back and led 15-14 heading to the ninth before a two-run final frame propelled the Norse to a series victory.
Sunday’s game felt like an opportunity for Missouri to get back on track but coming up short was another blow in a short season that’s already been full of them.
