Mizzou Baseball Recruits

■ MU Recruit Matt Linderer, DuBourg standout gets starting call at Rawlings showcase (Surburban Journal)

Linderer was the starting pitcher for the Missouri and set the tone for what turned out to be quite the pitcher's duel and a 2-0 Missouri win over a group of Illinois All-Stars in the nine-inning contest.

"I didn't know I was starting until we got in the tunnel before the game," Linderer said. "I really wouldn't have minded to have come in later in the game and see how things were going. But I am a starting pitcher, and I felt good although it was a little hard to adjust to the mound after warming up on flat ground."

And, from the same article, we see once again that the St. Louis media continues to report that Danny Murphy is Mizzou-bound:

Mehlville's Danny Murphy, the Suburban West Conference Player of the Year who is going to join Linderer at the University of Missouri, hit the ball as hard as anybody in the game. But the second baseman, who led off for Missouri, had nothing to show for it with a ground out and two line drive outs to the outfield.
