Mizzou Baseball’s losing streak extended to eight games with a 9-3 loss to archrivals Kansas in Lawrence Friday, the first game of a home-and-home which will see kU travel to Columbia next week.
Kaden Peer put the Tigers on the board in the top of the first with a solo home run down the right field line for a 1-0 lead.
But the Jayhawks struck back with a home run of their own in the inning’s bottom half, taking a 3-1 advantage on Brady Counsell’s three-run homer to left-center field.
kU’s first two runners reached on a single and an error by Mizzou starter Josh Kirchhoff, who made his first start of the season.
