Mizzou Baseball Game Day: Going their separate ways

■ Mizzou-Nebraska: Rivals going their separate ways (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)

A rivalry that often was spirited and at times contentious will come to a rather subdued end this afternoon at Haymarket Park in Lincoln, Neb. That is where the universities of Missouri and Nebraska, both sporting sub-.500 Big 12 records, are to wrap up a three-day baseball series.

Today's game will mark the completion of an intra-conference sports matchup that began in 1892, when the inaugural Missouri football team lost to Nebraska 6-0 — the Tigers forfeited the game because the Cornhuskers had a black player on their roster. By 1893, the schools had resolved their differences, and Mizzou beat Nebraska 18-12 in Kansas City.
