AUSTIN, Texas - - Texas scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning against Missouri to take a 4-3 win in the finale of the three-game series in Austin, Texas on Sunday.
With MU leading 3-1 in the bottom of the ninth, the Longhorns scored runs on a double from pinch hitter Kevin Keyes and a single by Travis Tucker to tie the game at three. Texas then scored the winning run on a Mizzou error.
