"Kyle Nicholson was outstanding." He did exactly what you want a pitcher to do in a double header, he pitched a complete game and got the win. Nicholson is now 8-1. Mizzou came back to win the second game, so the series will be decided by today's game. If we can get a win today, we will move ahead of the 3rd placed Tigers in the Big-12.

I like Steven McGee. I think he brought a toughness and determination to our team that has not been there since Reggie McNeal came onto the scene. But two things worried me last year: his inability to find open receivers and the hits. So it was good news that he has learned to find "
his second, third and fourth options" and bad news that he tried to "overpower [Mark Dodge] on a scramble attempt" and took a running hit. The hits are just part of his game, so as fans we have to cross our fingers and hope he can last two more seasons. Cornell Tarrant was able to show off his 4.3 speed. In the last 36 seconds of the game he "took [his] first step, immediately cut left, and just used [his] speed the rest of the way" to the end zone. This guy is our 3rd option in the backfield, things are looking good.
