For his fourth start in a row, one-time ace Reggie McClain was on the losing side of the ball. This time, No. 9 Louisiana State smashed the redshirt senior pitcher en route to a 7–5 win over the Missouri baseball team.
Mizzou jumped out to a quick 2–0 lead when senior first baseman Zach Lavy laced a ball down the right field line for his seventh triple of the season. Juniors Jake Ring and Ryan Howard both scored.
The Tigers from Columbia then went on a hitting drought, going runless for four straight innings. In the meantime, LSU went to work on McClain.
