Tennessee beat Missouri 4-2 Sunday and gave themselves the first-ever 12-0 start in SEC baseball history.
Drew Beam got the win and set a new career-high with seven strikeouts in his 6.1 innings of work. Beam’s now 7-0 for the season, and his year-long stats are just silly:
41.1 IP
19 H
6 R
6 ER
6 BB
36 K
.121 opponent’s batting average
Neither team’s offense got outta the gates real quick, though Missouri kicked off the game with a leadoff double. Beam struck out two of the next three batters to get out of the first and didn’t give up another hit until the fifth inning.
