HI NOTES: Walk Off Win

Walk pushes Missouri baseball past Kansas State (Columbia Missourian)
Missouri center fielder Brannon Champagne, who has reached base in 29 straight games, came to the plate with a chance to win with a hit or walk. After falling behind in the count, Champagne drew a walk to give the Tigers their second straight win over Kansas State.

Champagne, a junior, took an inside pitch close to the strike zone for a ball when the count was 2-2. Missouri coach Tim Jamieson attributed Champagne's patience to his experience and knowledge of the strike zone.

"It was a good call, but it was a tough pitch to take in that situation, so it's nice to have an experienced guy up there," Jamieson said.
