Tigers Cruise to Final Four with Sweep
Many baseball pundits expected a close series in the College Baseball Elite 8. It turned out quite a bit different.


The Missouri Tigers swept aside the Utah Utes to advance to the Final Four, winning the final game by a 9-6 score at Taylor Stadium.

The series MVP was third baseman Mark Booth, who hit .500 with a .500 on-base percentage. He had 0 home runs, drove in 4 RBI and scored 2 runs.

"We expected this series to go right down to the wire, so to sweep is a bit of a surprise," he said. "But we'll take it."

The Final Four matchups and schedule will be announced after the Elite 8 finishes.
