Missouri loses 7-3
A 1-2-3 ninth was the final nail in the coffin for Missouri, which lost 7-3 to Kansas in a game that did not count toward Big 12 standings. Missouri dropped to 21-21 on the season, while Kansas improved to 27-14.
A two-out, three-run home run by KU first baseman Preston Land in the bottom of the sixth was the big blow for Missouri, as that home run gave Kansas a 5-3 lead they would not relinquish.
Missouri's offense never was able to generate a major scoring rally after the Land home run, as the lineup failed to register neither a hit nor a walk after the Land's blast until a two-out double in the ninth by Ryan Ampleman. The only other baserunner for Missouri after the sixth came on a dropped fly ball in the eighth.
Greg Folgia had two of Missouri's five hits and scored two of team's three runs.
