Bottom of the third
Missouri gets a double and then Romero can’t pick up the sac bunt. A stolen base then puts runners on 2nd and third. Romero gets his 6th K, but Wong can’t hang on to it, loading the bases. Wong then allows a passed ball on the next pitch allowing a run and the other 2 runners move up…1-0 Missouri
COOGS finally get an out as the next batter fouls out to Wong.

Notwithstanding what happens here in the 9th, I’m going to go out on a limb and say we need to consider a change at the hitting coach position (whoever that is). Given how last year went and how this year has started, we need some serious help in that area.
