Big 12: Bears declaw Tigers, 10-5

By Eric Sorenson - May 25, 2007

(Sorry for the stupid subject line. I still haven't gotten much sleep on this trip.)

Missouri - 200 200 100- 5 9 0
Baylor - 300 050 20X- 10 15 0

The Bears look like a team that is fighting for its at-large life here. And they looked good doing it too. Everything seemed to go their way from that 5th inning on, holding the MU bats in check and never giving them much hope for a comeback.

Matt Czinsky was the straw that stirred the drink, going 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a two-run single. Beamer Weems also had a pair of doubles and a single along with two RBI.

The Tigers are now 0-2 and playing like a team that has an at-large bid locked up. The only thing is, do they still stay in the running for a Regional hosting slot. Hopefully the committee won't put a lot of stock in this post-season tournament here.
