Mizzou baseball falls short against No. 6 Texas despite late rally
Volantis allowed one hit and struck out 11 as Texas used late insurance runs to hold off Mizzou in the series opener.
- No. 6 Texas defeated Mizzou 6-3 behind a masterful pitching performance by Dylan Volantis, who struck out 11 batters over seven innings in the series opener.
- Mizzou appeared poised to stay competitive after taking two of three against Vanderbilt, with Jase Woita launching a home run to start the game, but Volantis struck out eight batters through three innings to halt the Tigers' momentum.
- Texas scored twice in the third on sacrifice flies by Aiden Robbins and Ethan Mendoza, then added two more runs on a Casey Borba home run before Anthony Pack's single extended the lead to 5-1 in the fifth.
- Mizzou rallied in the eighth with back-to-back doubles by Jamal George and Woita and singles by Kam Durnin and Mateo Serna to cut the deficit to 5-3, but Carsen Tinney's eighth-inning solo shot provided insurance as Sam Cozart closed out the ninth.
- With only Donovan Jordan and Woita recording hits off the 6-foot-6 sophomore, Mizzou faces a significant pitching challenge on Friday at 6:30 p.m. in Austin, where Brady Kehlenbrink will take the mound against Texas pitcher Luke Harrison.
