Mizzou-Auburn Game 1: A Battle of Harrisons & Tigers

In a Battle of Tigers, Harrisons, and coaches with Mizzou connections, the Tigers of the black & gold variety headed out to The Plains of Auburn, Ala. to take on the Tigers (23-10, 2-4) of the blue & orange variety— a weird color combo, in my opinion — looking for their second conference win and hoping to put an end to losing in close games (4 of their 5 losses are by one run this season). “Missouri is going to be a very hard-nose teams,” c0-head coach Chris Malveaux said earlier this week.

“They are going to play hard. They are very gritty. Pitching and defense are going to be a very big staple for them.

When you let up, they are going to find a way to score. We’ve got to make pitches, and we’ve got to be locked in offensively. Their record is a little misleading.

They’ve played an incredibly tough schedule, and they can beat anyone. We’ve got to show up and get after it. ” In the circle for Auburn at Jane C.
