The lead in Missouri baseball’s game against Mississippi State on Friday in Starkville, Mississippi, went back and forth between the Tigers and the Bulldogs more than a pendulum in a clock.
First the Tigers took the lead in the second, then the Bulldogs in the third and then back to MU in the sixth. Mississippi State tied it, but a ninth-inning rally got Missouri the win.
