MU-UT: Tigers Rally

By Glenn Tanner - May 04, 2007

Texas brought in the bullpen to start the 7th, and it backfired. At the stretch, Missouri leads 6-4.

After getting six strong innings from starter James Russell, Joe Krebs came on to start the seventh leading 4-2. Krebs was great last weekend in Stillwater, pitching 4.2 scoreless innings in two appearances. But Toto, we're not in Stillwater any more.

After getting the first out, Krebs gave up a single to John McKee, walked 9-hole hitter Gary Arndt, and allowed another single to Evan Frey to load the bases. Texas brought in closer Randy Boone, but he wasn't much help.

Boone, who had walked only two hitters in 24.1 Big XII innings, walked the first man he faced on four pitches. Ryan Lollis then sliced a single to left to give Mizzou a 5-4 lead, and Jacob Priday followed with a sac fly.

Russell's final line... 6 innings, 5 hits, 2 runs, no walks, 3 K's, and a no-decision.
