Baseball, Every True Tiger & Special Olympics Missouri Announce Show-Me Diamond Duel

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Baseball has finalized its 2026 fall ball schedule, which will be capped off and headlined by Every True Tiger Brands (ETTB) hosting the Show-Me Diamond Duel for Special Olympics Missouri presented by Multipli Credit Union on October 24-25, the program announced Friday.

The Show-Me Diamond Duel will feature the Tigers along with in-state institutions Missouri State, Saint Louis, SEMO, Lindenwood and Central Missouri.

“We’re really excited about the opportunity to bring so many programs from across the state together in Columbia for a weekend that’s about much more than baseball,” head coach Kerrick Jackson said. “Any time we can use our platform and our game to make a positive impact, that’s something we want to be a part of. We’re grateful to Every True Tiger, Special Olympics Missouri and Multipli Credit Union for helping make this possible, and we’re looking forward to a great weekend at Taylor Stadium.”

Every True Tiger Brands (ETTB) is teaming up with Special Olympics Missouri and Multipli Credit Union for student-athletes to help raise awareness and support for Special Olympics.

"Partnerships like this are exactly how we grow the reach of Special Olympics across the state," President & CEO of Special Olympics Missouri Larry Linthacum said.  "When Every True Tiger Brands and Mizzou Baseball bring every Division I program in Missouri together for a weekend like this, it doesn't just raise money, it puts our athletes in front of new fans and shows them what real inclusion looks like. We're proud to have Coach Jackson, Every True Tiger and Multipli Credit Union standing behind our athletes for the Show-Me Diamond Duel."

The Show-Me Diamond Duel for Special Olympics Missouri presented by Multipli Credit Union will feature three games per day on October 24 and 25. Admission will be free and fans can support Special Olympics Missouri at this link.

“As the third-party marketing arm of Mizzou Athletics, Every True Tiger is excited to be the official promoter of the Show-Me Diamond Duel,” Mario Moccia, CEO of Every True Tiger said. “I applaud Coach Jackson for getting every Division I baseball institution in the state involved as well as Central Missouri. This will be a great weekend of baseball – especially during Family Weekend in Columbia. The icing on the cake is that we will be supporting Special Olympics Missouri so fans from around the state can not only watch great baseball but rally behind a great cause as well.”

Mizzou will kick off its fall season when Iowa comes to Taylor Stadium on September 26. This will mark the second year in a row Mizzou has competed in a fall exhibition versus the Hawkeyes after making a trip to Iowa City a season ago. Bradley, under head coach Justin Dedman, will come to CoMo October 17 before the fall slate is ultimately capped by the Show-Me Diamond Duel for Special Olympics Missouri presented by Multipi Credit Union.
