Friday’s game

COLUMBIA, Mo. — After a rocky start in conference play, junior shortstop Erik Morrison’s two-run homer erased a 5-4 deficit in the top of the ninth to lift the Jayhawks past the Tigers 7-5.

Fellow junior Ryne Price’s solo shot that followed only sweetened the deal for Kansas (16-15, 3-4) on the opening day of the series.

Despite being outhit 15-7 by the Tigers (20-8, 2-2), the Jayhawks found a way to put runs across. Starter Aaron Crow nearly doubled his season walk total in his 6 2/3 inning outing. Crow entered the game with 11 walks. He walked eight Jayhawks on Friday night.

Saturday’s game

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Sophomore Preston Land’s double slammed into the left field bullpen just inches from clearing the fence in the top of the ninth. The first baseman’s hit scored two, but Kansas still came up shy of the comeback victory, losing to Missouri 8-7.

Looking not at all like the Jayhawks who have lately struggled offensively, fellow sophomore Buck Afenir belted two home runs in back-to-back at bats. Although Kansas kept closer pace with Missouri in game two, each had 12 hits and struck out just five times, Missouri held on.
