On Sunday, the Tigers stole the series from South Carolina, with a 5-3 win, which derailed the Gamecocks’ attempt at a comeback late in the game.
Winning its first series since early April against Georgia, Missouri entered Sunday’s game on a mission. Tied with South Carolina, the Tigers were able to accomplish something that escaped them for the last four weeks: Maintain a lead and win the close game.
Slugger Trey Harris assured coach Steve Bieser that he could power through for Mizzou, even though he has dealt with an ailing shoulder since the Tigers’ series at Vanderbilt.
