MoState's Yusypchuk throws gem
I'm Dan Lucy on the Ozarks First digital desk.
Missouri State baseball is playing a road series at Southern Illinois.
The series was delayed because of rain and cold.
The Bears and Salukis are playing a double header Monday.
In our Bear Nation update.
But in Sunday's single game, Missouri State pitcher Michael Yusypchuk threw a gem.
The freshman from Edmonton, Canada threw a seven inning complete game.
The right hander scattered four hits over the seven innings and gave up only one run in the Bears 12-1 victory.
For Yusypchuk, it's his second complete game in back to back starts.
That hasn't happened since 2012 when Pierce Johnson pulled that trick.
Johnson is pitching for the Atlanta Braves now.
Missouri State and Southern Illinois are fighting for first place in the Valley.
We'll have highlights on the news.

Jac adds spice to I-70 series
Hello everyone, I'm Dan Lucy on the Ozarks First digital desk. The I-70 series resumes Tuesday night at Busch Stadium. In our Cardinals Nation update. The Kansas City Royals will visit St. Louis in a renewal of their annual interleague series. The Cardinals took two of three from the Royals last month at Kauffman Stadium. Both teams lost their last games coming into the series. Of course, the I-70 series got its name from the 1985 World Championship series that Kansas City won four games to three. But in the all time total, the Cardinals own a 78-to-53 advantage. And one other note, Royal rookie Jac Caglianone will make his big league debut tonight reportedly playing the designated hitter for Kansas City.
