ORUTerry Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 From the Missouri Valley Conference 2017 preview: A year after making a super regional, Missouri State went just 7-13 in conference play last season, missing its formidable one-two punch of Matt Hall and Jon Harris on the weekend. The Bears should be deeper on the mound this year, bringing in junior college transfers Doug Still and Anthony Herron—both of whom could see work as starters—and returning senior closer Bryan Young. Anchored by the powerful Burger at third, Missouri State returns its entire infield. The Bears won’t have Spencer Johnson, who led the country with 24 home runs last season, but they should still pack plenty of punch. Also worth noting: head coach Keith Guttin enters the season only 24 wins away from 1,200 Player of the Year: Jake Burger, 3b, Missouri State. A third-team All-American last season, Burger tied for second in the nation with 21 home runs and hit .349/.420/.689 while playing a solid third base for the Bears. He spent the summer playing for USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team and enters the spring as a first-team Preseason All-American. He is poised for another loud season.

theeagleman5 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Missouri State seems to specialize in long ball hitters.....Ryan Howard is a former MSU Bear drafted in the 5th round by the Philadelphia Phillies back around 2001....

theeagleman5 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 The bullpen which had been strong over the weekend vs. UALR failed to hold a 5-3 lead yesterday at JLJ and ORU falls to Missouri State, 9-5....we drop to 3-1 and head to Tuscaloosa for a weekend 3 game series with Alabama......

WeirdAlORU Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Missouri State was a tough team. Mid-week matches are tough to evaluate due to the constant rotation of pitchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
