Tigers Top Bears, 6-2
April 16, 2024 | Baseball
SPRINGFIELD – Missouri State was unable to overcome a 4-0 deficit after two innings Tuesday at Hammons Field in a 6-2 loss to Missouri in front of a season-high 2,541 fans.
Â
The Tigers (17-21) turned three hits into two runs in the first inning and swatted a two-run homer in the second for the early advantage, and the Bears (15-20) allowed just one earned run after that and matched MU with nine total hits but couldn't make up enough ground.
Â
It was 5-0 after Missouri's leadoff man was hit by a pitch and scored in the fourth, and the Bears got on the board in the fifth when Tyler Epstein hit a leadoff double and scored on Zack Stewart's sacrifice fly for a 5-1 margin.
Â
MU hit a solo home run in the seventh, and Nick Rodriguez matched it in the eighth with his fourth round-tripper of the season.
Â
The Bears left the bases loaded in the sixth and grounded into a double play with the bases loaded to end the eighth while stranding 12 runners in the game.
Â
Kaleb Thomas pitched three innings in relief and struck out three while allowing an unearned run, Michael Lindsey threw a scoreless inning, and Garrett Ferguson fanned a pair and yielded just one runner in the final 1.2 frames.
Â
Stewart went 3-for-4 to lead the offense, and Izzy Lopez collected his second multi-hit game of the season.
Â
The Bears begin a nine-game road trip this weekend with a three-game series at Valparaiso. Game one is set for 3 p.m. Friday.
