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.

No June swoon for Springfield Cards
Hello everyone, I'm Dan Lucy on the Ozarks First digital desk. The Springfield Cardinals are loving the month of June. In our Cardinals Nation update. The baby birds have played eight games in the month of June. And Springfield has won seven of them. That includes Tuesday night's 8-3 victory over Tulsa. In that game, Springfield's right fielder Joshua Baez hit two home runs. The first came in the first inning and gave Springfield a 3-0 lead. The second came in the fifth inning. Springfield would beat the Drillers by five. The Cardinals still own a three game lead on the Texas League North with 11 games left in the first half of the season. If Springfield can stay in first, it'll earn a playoff ticket. The Double AA franchise won the first half last year. And the team has never won back to back playoff tickets in franchise history.

Racquetball's U.S. Open coming to Springfield in 2026
SPRINGFIELD, Mo–A year from Tuesday, the best racquetball players in the world will be in Springfield for the U.S. Open. Executive Director Jeff Collins made the announcement. And he expects up to 500 racquetball players from around the world to gather in Springfield in June of 2026. Missouri State's racquetball courts at Plaster Stadium will host preliminary matches. And the championship matches will be in a special glass-encased court at the Expo Center. Grandstands will be built around the special court. Racquetball's U.S. Open has not been held since 2022. So it'll also be a reunion for top level players. 'It's always been that kind of pilgrimage for all the racquetball players that they want to go to the U.S. Open. They want to compete to be crowned U.S. Open champion for either their age bracket or their skill division. But it's also a chance for family to get back to together,' said USA Racquetball's Stewart Solomon. 'You know the name U.S. Open is so recognizable. And in racquetball, like other sports, the prize money is doubled, tripled quadrupled. Along with that it's doubled, tripled, quadrupled the points. And when all that stuff is added in there, it just matters more. And play gets more intense,' said former racquetball pro Cliff Swan. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
