Missouri falls in their fall ball opener by a final of 6-3 to Iowa. The Tigers add one more run in the ninth off a RBI single from Khamaree Thomas, but leave the tying run at the plate. Sam Schmidt pitches a clean 1-2-3 ninth to close the game on the bump for Mizzou.

Aiden Teel underwent surgery yesterday for a tumor on his spine, diagnosed during a MLB physical. He and MSU fans wondered why his performance last season was not what he wanted. Cudos to him for trying to play through it! Speedy recovery, my friend. Once a DAWG, Always a DAWG

.@LSUbaseball won't have to wait long to prove the offseason hype is real.
The Tigers open SEC play by hosting Texas in what could be a top-five matchup.
If LSU wins that series, the hype train is taking off 🚂

I really, really hope this gets resolved.
Wheels is an invaluable resource for those of us who cover sports like college baseball and the LLWS.
There is zero doubt that Wheels is helping us grow those entities.
It would be a massive loss to see this channel go away.
