COLUMBIA, Mo. - Missouri head baseball coach Tim Jamieson has announced that the Tigers have added a split doubleheader against Truman State and Lincoln University on Thursday afternoon beginning at 4 p.m. The Lincoln game will begin approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the Truman State game.

The added games were necessitated by the Tigers having nine of 19 games to date cancelled due to inclement weather. The most recent cancellations came on Tuesday when both games against Western Illinois were lost.

After Thursday's doubleheader, the Tigers welcome Creighton to Taylor Stadium/Simmons Field for a three-game series. Game 1 is set for Friday, March 7, at 6:30 p.m., with the Saturday and Sunday games slated for 2 p.m. and 1 p.m., respectively. For ticket information, call 1-800-CAT-PAWS (573-884-PAWS in mid-Missouri).
