The win gives KSU a sweep of the Tigers.
Missouri plated two runs in the first inning. Jayce Tingler walked and moved to second base on a double Ryan Stegall. Mick Weiss lofted a fly ball to right field which was dropped to score Tingler. Stegall scored on a fielder's choice play by Lee Laskowski for a 2-0 lead.
