College Station – Mizzou baseball achieved a significant milestone by securing their first win in Southeastern Conference (SEC) play this season, overcoming Texas A&M with a come-from-behind victory of 9-6. This triumph not only ended a disheartening twelve-game losing streak in SEC competition, but also marked their first SEC victory since defeating Mississippi State in the regular season finale of 2024.
The win improved Mizzou’s overall record to 14-35 and their SEC record to 1-24. The comeback was particularly notable as the Tigers found themselves trailing 6-1 by the end of the third inning, largely due to two home runs hit by Jace LaViolette, who was named the D1 Baseball SEC Preseason Player of the Year.
As the game progressed, Mizzou’s fortunes changed starting in the fifth inning. Jackson Lovich hit his tenth home run of the season, reducing the Aggies’ lead to 5-3. This momentum built as the game neared its conclusion. In a dramatic ninth inning, Mizzou scored six runs, showcasing contributions from key players such as Lovich, Kaden Peer, and Chris Patterson. The turning point in the ninth included an infield single by Lovich, who also delivered a crucial double that leveled the score at 6-6.
The Tigers subsequently took the lead on a ground ball that allowed runs to score, ultimately sealing the game at 9-6. The loss was particularly detrimental for Texas A&M as it dropped their conference record to 10-15, significantly impacting their hopes for an NCAA Tournament berth.
This victory represented a continuation of success for Mizzou in College Station, as it was their second consecutive win against Texas A&M there, dating back to 2023. Following this important win, Mizzou set their sights on securing their first SEC series victory since sweeping Florida in April 2024.
The second game of the series was also favorable for Mizzou, as they clinched a 4-1 victory. This win marked their first SEC series triumph of the season. The team’s pitching staff was instrumental in this game, utilizing six pitchers effectively to restrict Texas A&M to just two hits, with the bullpen contributing multiple hitless innings. Notably, starter Sam Horn showcased skill on the mound, throwing 2â…” innings and striking out five batters prior to rain interruptions in the game.
Mizzou initially scored in the second game with two runs in the first inning, thanks to strong plays from Jackson Lovich and Chris Patterson, establishing an early lead. As they look ahead, the Tigers are set to compete in the series finale scheduled for the following day at 1:00 p.m. CST, with hopes of expanding on their recent successes and securing a two-game series win over Texas A&M.
