A bizarre sixth inning closed out Mizzou’s season-opening baseball game Friday afternoon at the USC Tournament at Dedeaux Field, as the Tigers plated six runs in between two rain delays for a 10-9, six-inning win over Cal Poly.

Play was delayed for 54 minutes by rain in the middle of the sixth and Mizzou down 9-4, and halted again following a freak accident in the Cal Poly dugout involving an errant bat that struck a Mustang. Rain resumed during that delay, and the game would eventually be called due to the rain.

The Mustangs lost a pair of one run games in the USC Tournament and a freshman suffered a concussion in a freak accident. In Cal Poly's second game of the day, freshman infielder Jordan Brower was hit on the head by a flying bat while standing in the dugout during a rain delay. He suffered a concussion.
■ And a Tip of the Cap to Hunter Mense, who, in his first game as Tex Little's wingman in the booth, sounded like a seasoned pro. #himinliberty is indeed a "trending topic"

"So proud of the Tigers today...coming back from a 5 run deficit for a win says a lot about the character of a team. #oneandoh"
