The Missouri Tigers have made a habit of making strong runs in the Big 12 Baseball Championship, but this year is looking like it could be the most special of all. The Tigers upset No. 3 seed Texas on Wednesday, and followed that up by beating Texas A&M, the No, 2 seed, 5-3 on Thursday, which moves the Tigers into the winner's bracket and a possible rematch with the Aggies on Saturday.

Also, the Tigers dealt A&M starter Michael Wacha his first loss of the season as he was 8-0 coming into the start.

“When they went to the bullpen, we didn’t have an answer for Emens and his change-up,” Childress said. “He did a really good job.”

Emens entered in the sixth after A&M closed Missouri’s lead to 4-3. With runners on first and second and one out, Emens struck out Brandon Wood and Krey Bratsen to escape the jam with the lead. He finished with a season-high six strikeouts.

“A&M has a great offense, but they got a lot of their hits off of fastballs,” Emens said. “I knew if I kept my offspeed stuff down I would get some groundballs and [strikeouts], and that was the case.”

Holovach skidded down the stretch for Missouri but seems to have the Aggies’ number this season.

The first time he faced them back on March 31, he threw five innings of no-hit ball. On Thursday, Holovach held Texas A&M, coming off a 10-run game against Kansas, to three runs over five and one-third innings.
