Missouri baseball was swept in a doubleheader Saturday by South Carolina, losing on a walk-off single in the 12th inning of Game 2 in Columbia, South Carolina.
The Tigers led 4-2 after seven innings, but the Gamecocks wouldn’t go away. With a runner on in the bottom of the eighth, freshman right fielder Ethan Petry blasted a two-run home run over the left-field bullpen to tie the game.
