MU loses 2 of 3 at Baylor

#7 Baylor Bears baseball grabs a pair from Missouri, the Waco Tribune says:

On military appreciation weekend, the Baylor baseball team rolled out the big
guns and shot down the Missouri Tigers.

Baylor hurlers Aaron Miller and Willie Kempf threw some serious smoke, combining for 22 strikeouts as the seventh-ranked Bears swept a Saturday twinbill to clinch their fourth straight Big 12 series.

"He's a freak athlete. It doesn't matter if you put him behind a ping-pong table
or out in the outfield. He's going to give it everything he's got," said Missouri catcher Trevor Coleman.
■ The Maneater reports that Crow visits former baseball team :

"He's put in a lot of work into (his changeup) with others, and the guys catching and hitting against him said they saw a difference," Vitello said. While Crow's slider is a great out-pitch, his changeup could be key in accelerating his progress to the major leagues.

"It's a lot better than it was at the end of last year," Crow said of his changeup. "I'm very confident in all three of my pitches and think they all should be better than where they were last year."
And I can't resist this line, which is written in an odd way:

. . . Missouri's Kyle Gibson, who, along with Missouri reliever Scooter Hicks, picked Crow's brain over some ice cream.
