Baseball lost today to Auburn but won the weekend series, their first in conference play I believe. Graves, who's been lights out struggled, giving up 6 earned through 5 2/3. The rotation hasn't been corrected since he took a ball to the ear so hopefully settling back into a normal rotation next week will get him back on stride.
On another note, we had another Alec Rash sighting. Yes, the 2nd round draft pick phenom who has hardly been seen all year pitched 2 innings, gave up 1 hit, 0 runs, 0 walks and 3 K's. That is now 4 appearances and 4 1/3 innings and his ERA remains at 0.00 but he's still not good enough to get a mid week start.
Softball insured a series win against UGA, winning the first two 8-6 and 6-3. If I'm right, I think that's their first conference series win as well. Going for the sweep tomorrow. Was HUGE for them to get the series against a pretty damn good UGA team.

Baseball beat Missouri State 9-4. On the one hand, will take any win at this point. On the flip side, we gave up 4 runs to a team that had gone something like 58 innings at one point without scoring. Team got to within 1 game of .500 (pretty pathetic considering the non-con schedule).
On another note, that sophomore phenom who was drafted in the 2nd round by the Phillies but isn't good enough to pitch for Mizzou, did find an opportunity to pitch 2 more innings against Georgia over the weekend. 2 innings, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts and 0 runs. I can certainly understand why TJ never starts him. He has now pitched what amounts to an average start (6.1 innings) and has an ERA of 0.00. Don't get it.
Softball swept a double header against Western Illinois and improved to 29-10. Western Illinois isn't good, but the 2 freshmen pitchers looked good. Coach EE picked up win 500 in just 10 1/1 seasons (think 8 at Mizzou). That's somewhere near 50 wins a season. That's crazy good and crazy consistent. Congrats to him.

Good weekend on the diamonds for the Tigers.
In softball, the #16 Tigers went to #20 Auburn and swept those other Tigers. Freshman pitcher Stangel still shows signs of being solid but hasn't shown the consistency or ability to close games out. Has had to be relieved in most of her recent outings. Fincucane has shown to be the real deal. The troubling sign there is Finucane missed what presumably would have been her start on Sunday, though coach EE said it was just precautionary. My guess is if the Tigers hadn't already won the series, she might have pitched but since we won the first 2, he rested her.
On the baseball diamond, the Tigers went to UK and won 2 out of 3 over #15 UK. Impressive series win. This team has the talent to win some games but it seems to be a question of whether or not they decide to show up. Senior Anderson had an unbelievable weekend. Hitting .571 with runners in scoring position and .444 overall with a double, a triple, a home run and 6 RBI's. On the mound, threw 7 innings, striking out 10. Neat story with Anderson as he showed a ton of promise early in his career at Mizzou but each of the last 2 years as things looked good to go was set back with arm surgeries. Hadn't really hit for Mizzou for a couple/few years and now is one of the teams leading hitters and despite some arm discomfort is pitching outstanding as well.
