88 pitches for Cijntje through 6.0. Would imagine he's good for at least one more inning. He has 9 strikeouts and just 1 BB.

END of 5: MSU 7, Mizzou 1..

Bulldogs have put together two good offensive innings in a row. Two runs in the fourth, four in the fifth to push this lead out.

Amani Larry continues to really come around. He sends a three-run home run out to left with two outs. Breaks this one open a bit.

7-1

A one-out ground ball for Mershon might could have been a double play but it ate up the second baseman.

Dakota Jordan comes up and makes Mizzou pay with his second double of the day.

4-1

Cijntje rebounded nicely against the bottom of the order in the 5th. Struck out the side and is up to 7 K's through 5.0 innings. 71 pitches

END of 4: MSU 3, Mizzou 1..

State has its first inning of the weekend with multiple runs scored. Bulldogs have the lead back.

State finally starting to string together really good at bats and get runners on base.

Three-straight have reached and Logan Kohler's single drives in a run with one out.

2-1

MID 4: MSU 1, Mizzou 1..

Tough inning there for Cijntje. Had to throw over 20 pitches and gave up his first hit and run of the game. Three base runners that frame but it ended with a strikeout.

First hit of the day off of Jurrangeo Cijntje is a home run to left field. All four of Mizzou's runs so far this weekend are solo homers.

1-1

Loo is getting a lot of weak contact pop ups early in this game. He's thrown 33 pitches through 3.0 innings and faced the minimum.

END of 2: MSU 1, Missouri 0..

Hunter Hines gets State on the board but the Bulldogs continue to struggle to string together base runners/hits/runs.

Hunter Hines now has 12 of his 15 home runs in SEC play and 31 of 51 RBI.

Hunter Hines hits a bomb to right field to lead off the second. That's his 15th home run of the year.

1-0

Jurrangelo Cijntje with a clean first inning. Had to battle with Jackson Lovich with two outs but he flies out to right.

Chris Lemonis usually jogs to the pregame huddle. He takes a slow walk out today because he has a boot on his right foot.

Three schools in one month is really something.
