Mizzou Baseball Splits Saturday Double-Header Against Omaha

The Tigers bounced back in game two after dropping the first game of the day

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Baseball (3-4) split its double-header against Nebraska-Omaha Saturday, to take the driver's seat in the series. The Tigers bounced back after a game one loss to take the second game 10-1.


Mizzou opened the the twin billing with a 17-11 loss. The Tigers started game one off strong, scoring four runs in the first two innings, but then struggled until the bottom ninth, scoring six runs in the frame. The late-inning production came on a bases-clearing triple by senior Chad McDaniel, a two-run homer from sophomore Torin Montgomery, and an RBI triple from freshman Ross Lovich. 


In the second game of Saturday's pair, the balls were flying over the wall early, with a pair of two out, two-run homers in the second off the bats of juniors Mike Coletta and Joshua Day. In the next inning, fifth-year senior Andrew Keefer added another two-run bomb to the box score.


Mizzou continued running up the score up, bringing home two more runners in the sixth on an RBI double by Lovich and an RBI single to right by senior Mark Vierling. Keefer finished the scoring with a two-run single in the eighth.


The Tigers' strong offensive production was flanked by the pitching staff, with lights-out starting performance from redshirt sophomore Seth Halvorsen. He was followed suit by freshman Ian Lohse, going four innings with six punch outs to tally his first collegiate save.

Hear from the Skipper

Head coach Steve Bieser on bouncing back in game two…

"It's taken us seven games but we saw how we expect the game to be played on our end, it was very clean, we got a good start out of our starter and good relief out of Ian Lohse coming out of the bullpen. I thought we had some really timely hitting and some really good at bats."

  • Seth Halvorsen picked up his first win of the season after throwing five innings of shutout ball in the second game of the double-header
