Missouri Athletics

The Missouri Tigers baseball team extended its losing streak to five after its loss to the No. 7 Vanderbilt Commodores 3-1 on Saturday afternoon at Hawkins Field in Nashville, Tenn. 

Every run in the contest came on two plays, a three-RBI double by Vanderbilt’s Davis Diaz in the first inning and an RBI single by Missouri’s Justin Colon in the fourth. 

Missouri had three attempts at a comeback as the team had two base runners on in the seventh and eighth as well as a base runner on third in the ninth, but could not execute any runs out of the opportunities. 

For the Tigers, Javyn Pimental started on the mound. In his 4.1 innings pitched, he allowed two hits, three runs (all earned), walked three batters, and struck out two. Bryce Mayer and Ryan Magdic made appearances out of the bullpen and Pimental recorded the loss. 

For the Commodores, Carter Holton started on the mound. In his seven innings pitched, he allowed five hits, one run (earned), walked one batter, and struck out eight. Brennan Seiber and Miller Green made appearances out of the bullpen. Holton was given the win, which brought his record to a perfect 4-0 on the year and Green was credited the save, his second of the season. 

With this loss, the Tigers fell to 10-18 on the season and 1-8 in conference play, its sole win coming in a 2-1 victory on March 23 against Kentucky. Now, Missouri will have a six game home stretch with two midweek games against UT Martin, a three-game series against Florida, and will cap it off with a midweek matchup with SIUE on April 9.
