“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 kept the Aggies’ bats in check, but Emens completely silenced them
