During Missouri's nine-game road trip in Arizona, the Tigers pitchers and catchers had a chance to meet with Rick Sutcliffe, who pitched 18 years in the major leagues and won the 1984 National League Cy Young Award while with the Chicago Cubs.
"After a practice, he came to the stands where all the pitchers and catchers were sitting and he talked about his career and how he got to where he was," Berger said. "He talked about throwing the first punch and getting ahead of hitters. He said when he went inside, he made sure it was the hardest pitch he threw."
■ Conner Mach's first career home run leads Tigers, according to the Columbia Missourian:
David Mach offered the boys a ball of his own, $3 and autographs after the game,
and the deal was done.
Speaking of Mini-Mach, InsideMizzou.com has an audio interview with Conner. InsideMizzou also has audio with Tim Jamieson, a report on the win Sunday, and more fantastic pics in the photo gallery
■ From the Columbia Daily Tribune: Tigers hope Sunday wins become trend:
A series-closing Sunday game can make or break a college baseball team’s weekend. Missouri Coach Tim Jamieson likes to emphasize that point.
Although yesterday’s 7-6 series-winning victory over Ball State on Simmons Field won’t carry quite the same weight as a Big 12 Conference series win, the Tigers took a lot of positives out of beating a surprisingly scrappy Cardinals team.
■ Michael Liberto gets some love on Tigerboard:
TigerNation25: He's been very good so far this year. Over .300 and only 5 strikeouts. He has handled the bat way better than most of us were probably expecting. What about giving him a shot at the leadoff spot?
