TigerNation25: Great win tonight. The teams starting to click. This is going to be fun down the stretch.■ Mizzou baseball wins four in a row (InsideMizzou.com):
Senior Steve Gray matched a career-high with four hits on Tuesday night, finishing 4-for-4 with two RBI. Junior Greg Folgia added two hits to extend his hitting streak to 10 games, and junior Aaron Senne had a pair of hits, including a two-run home run.■ Johnny Wholestaff pitched the game against Eastern Illinois, with 9 pitchers in 9 innings. JW is now 11-3 on the year, with a 3.07 ERA
■ Big12Hardball is well informed:
MU gets a nice RPI win vs. a quality out-of-conference foe. Tigers are now 11-3 when using "staff pitching" approach. This game was the "Wood Bat Classic." Does that mean the team's used wooden bats? Eastern Illinois was 32-9 and #44 in the RPI so they are plenty good.
■ The win against Eastern Illinois moved MU from a #39 RPI rank to 31st, according to Boyd's World. The official NCAA D-1 RPI rankings were released yesterday, showing MU at 38th prior to the EIU game.
■ DanOshinsky, at the creatively titled DanOshinksky.com, has a comment about Greg Folgia's intensity, plus a handful of good pictures from the Texas Tech series:
Mizzou junior outfielder Greg Folgia had an impressive game against Texas Tech, including a home run in the 2nd inning that extended his hitting streak to eight games. But after one late inning strike out, Folgia took out his frustration on his bat by actually screaming into it.
The bat was not available for comment after the game.
■ The Kansas City Star reports that Justin James (02-03) has signed to play with the Kansas City T-Bones of the independent Northern League.
James, 27, is in his seventh season in professional baseball. Originally a fifth round pick by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2003 amateur draft, James advanced as high as Class AAA in 2007.
