Bears knocked out of MVC Tournament by Racers
NORMAL, ILL.–The Missouri State Bears ran out of gas and runs at the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament, on Saturday.
The team needed to win two games to force a winner-take-all finale, Sunday, but only won its first game, 4-1, against UIC, before getting beat in the championship game Murray State, 10-5.
Mo State got down early, as the Racers raced out to a 4-0 lead through the first two innings. But then, freshman Logan Dunn, launched his first career home run to get the maroon and white back in it in the top of the 3rd. The solo shot to right cut the deficit to 4-1.
Three innings later, in the top of the 6th, Carter Bergman blasted a 2-run home run to left center. That made it a 6-4 game, but that's where the rallied died.
Murray State would rip off four more runs on four hits in the bottom of the 6th, and go on to win, knocking out the Bears and claiming the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament title.
