Mizzou Bats Remain Quiet in Game 2; Tigers Drop Series to South Carolina

Missouri starter Brady Kehlenbrink rebounded from recent rough starts with a career-high in innings pitched, engaging Phillips in a dominant pitching duel that kept the game scoreless through three innings.
South Carolina broke the scoreless tie in the fourth when Tyler Bak tripled and scored on a throwing error following a ground ball from Talmadge LeCroy.
Missouri coach Kerrick Jackson acknowledged the offensive shortfall, saying, "Offensively, we didn't even come close to matching the competitive spirit that he had." The Tigers stranded runners in the fifth.
The three-game Southeastern Conference series concludes Saturday at 2 p.m., offering Missouri a chance to salvage the final game against South Carolina after dropping the first two contests.
