Missouri Baseball vs No. 15 South Carolina: Live Updates

Follow along as the Tigers take on the Gamecocks in game one of the series.

Mizzou Athletics

The Missouri Tigers will kick off another SEC weekend series, this one against the No. 14 South Carolina Gamecocks.

The Gamecocks have shot up the rankings as of late, going from No. 24 to No. 15 in D1's poll. They recently took a series against No. 4 Kentucky. In many of their recent SEC series, the Tigers have taken just one game against their opponents. However, their last weekend featured a sweep handed to them by No. 3 Tennessee.

Missouri will need to put up their best work and get at least one win in this series. Their main goal for the end of the season should be to stay out of the last two places in their conference in order to earn a trip to Hoover, Alabama for the SEC tournament.

The starter for Missouri in game one will be sophomore Logan Lunceford. Lunceford's last outing came in the Tigers series against Tennessee, in which he went five innings and gave up six hits for two runs.
