The Iowa game scheduled for Tuesday was cancelled. The 11-11 Redbirds will now square off with 10-12 Missouri State. Missouri State was picked to finish 2nd in the Valley, but they have lost 7 out of 8 with losses to SLU, Kansas St., Oklahoma St., and Indiana St. They will be hungry and will be looking to get back on track against the Redbirds. They stole a game against Indiana State last week.

Interesting note: Missouri State charges everyone, including students to attend games. Pretty wild. They rent the Hammons Field from the City of Springfield and share it with the Springfield Cardinals (AA).

Here's the schedule for the weekend:
3/29 - 6:30 pm - no stream
3/30 - 2 pm - ESPN+
3/31 - 1 pm - ESPN+

Wow what a game. I love the resiliency but the pitching is killing us. Down 3-2 after 6 innings, then down 6-2 after 7 innings, then we score 6 in the top half of the 8th before giving up 4 in the bottom half. Score of 10-8 entering the 9th before we scored 4 runs to pull back ahead. Let up a run in the bottom half of the 9th before clinching the win. Missouri State left 14 on base compared to just 3 for us.

Had the lead, gave it up late, and got it back in the 9th on a 3 run jack from Lawrence. Let's finish the sweep tomorrow!
