COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Mick Weiss hit two home runs, one each in the ninth and 10th innings, to lead the University of Missouri baseball team to a 7-6 win Sunday in 10 innings at Taylor Stadium/Simmons Field in Big 12 Conference action.
Weiss, a junior from St. Peters, Mo., led off the ninth inning with a solo home run to lead the Tigers' rally that inning before hitting a one-out homer to left field to win the game for Missouri.
Missouri improves to 25-17-1 overall and 10-14 in the Big 12. Iowa State falls to 16-21-1 overall and 7-10 in league play.
The Tigers rallied from a 5-0 deficit after five innings of play.

In the seventh, Missouri scored another run. W.T. Hoover led off the inning with a single to center field. After Ryan Stegall walked, both runners advanced on an infield out. Hoover scored when Jon Williams grounded out to make it 5-2.
The Tigers scored one run in the eighth inning. Desch doubled and scored on a single by Hoover to make it 5-3.
