Welcome to the Morning Commute
Today we’re talking about Mizzou Baseball
After Mizzou Baseball’s 5-1 Braggin’ Rights win over Illinois on Tuesday night, the Tigers couldn’t pull of the sweep in the St. Louis area.
A 10-4 loss to Lindenwood drops Missouri’s overall record to 17-9 on the season.
While Missouri has already surpassed their win total from last season, there’s still a long way to go for Kerrick Jackson’s club t0 be competitive.
A 1-5 start to SEC play doesn’t get any easier with a ranked Texas
A&M team coming to Columbia Friday through Sunday. The Tigers swept the Aggies in College Station last season, but Mizzou will still be looking for their first SEC win (at home) since the 2024 season.
In other Mizzou Baseball news, today is MLB’s Opening Day — and former Tiger and Rock Bridge alum Spencer Miles will be on the Blue Jays’ roster, joining Max Scherzer.

The win was highlighted by a second career no-hitter from senior pitcher Cierra Harrison.
A big congrats to Mizzou ace, Cierra Harrison! No-hitters are always awesome.
Santana Banner is the clear headliner among the returners and enters the post-spring depth chart as a presumed starter. After transferring in from Northern Illinois, he steadily earned more playing time throughout 2025 and by November had taken over a starting role, absorbing many of Jalen Catalon’s snaps.
Santana Banner highlights Mizzou’s secondary position. Look for him to have a big year.
“This environment here, with all it really shows the Mizzou fan base, like you can see more people from around this area instead of just Columbia. But it was awesome. And getting that hit felt really good, knowing that you’re helping the team win. That’s my main goal.”
A good non-conference win for Mizzou Baseball. Always good to get Braggin’ Rights, especially in St. Louis.
When asked what he learned about the team based on its performance on Saturday, Shannon said, “What this tells me is we’re really good. We’re definitely competitive. We just got to be a little more consistent across the board, right? We can’t have a 49.0 on beam like we did.”
Mizzou Gymnastics heads to the NCAA Regionals with high hopes, but there’s room to improve off of Saturday’s performance at the SEC Championships.
Get ready, Tiger fans, the two-day Raleigh Relays are here, and Mizzou athletes will face a stacked field with a lot of action. The meet will run from Thursday, March 26, through Friday, March 27, at the Paul H. Derr Track Facility in Raleigh, NC.
Read up on the latest track and field updates from Sophie as the team prepares for the Raleigh Relays.
