Columbia, MO: Back and Forth We Go

By Jay Dryburgh - June 02, 2007

After Mizzou put their first four runs on the board in a marathon sixth inning, Louisville is right back at it in the bottom half of the inning.

Louisville just has so much speed and are so aggressive that they can score extremely quickly. Mizzou RF Ryan Lollis did a nice job cutting off a single by Jorge Castillo, but Isaiah Howes still scored from second base to tie things back up at four. We already saw Howes cut down stealing once, but the collective short memory of U of L baserunners really gives them an edge.

And now both starting pitchers will have made their exit, both failing to record an out in the sixth inning. Rick Zagone will get the hook after a wild pitch and a walk to Chris Dominguez.

It will be Kyle Gibson out of the pen for Mizzou with two Cards on base behind him. From a neutral fan's perspective, this has been a great game thus far between two teams that are leaving it all out on the field.
