No. 25 Lions Drop Game Two, 4-1

Joplin, Mo. -- The No. 25 Missouri Southern baseball team ran into a tough pitcher today as the Lions fell 4-1 in game two of the best-of-three series with Central Oklahoma at Warren Turner Field. 

The Lions (30-12) got a strong start from Will Bausginger as the senior went five and two thirds, striking out eight and walking none, while allowing just four hits. Scott Duensing and Chase Beiter threw in relief. 

UCO (23-19) got a complete-game win from Jacob Bailey who held the Lions to just one run over nine innings. 

The Bronchos got a sacrifice fly in the second inning to go on top 1-0, but the Lions answered right back as Henry Kusiak hit his 12th home run of the season to tie the game at one after two. 

UCO scored a run in the third, sixth and eighth to put the game away. 

Dexter Swims had a pair of hits, while Troy Gagan, Tommy Stevenson, Henry Kusiak and Clay Milas had a hit each. 

The two teams will finish up the series tomorrow with a winner-take-all game to decide who advances to next week's final four of the 2021 MIAA Championship.
