COLUMBIA, Mo. - The University of Missouri baseball team, faced with a dearth of games following nearly a dozen cancellations due to weather this season, have added a home game this Friday, May 9, against Rockhurst. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. at Taylor Stadium/Simmons Field.

The game was added after the Tigers were rained out on Tuesday against Illinois in a wood-bat game at T.R. Hughes Ballpark in O'Fallon, Mo. It was to have been the final non-conference game of the regular season.

Following Friday's game, the Tigers (31-17) will be off for final exams heading into their final Big 12 Conference series next weekend against Oklahoma.
