Mizzou didn’t need long to experience its first walk-off of the 2023 season.

The Tigers are in Arlington, Texas, taking part in the College Baseball Showdown at Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers. MU topped Texas 6-5 in a thriller on Saturday night.

It was a 5-5 game in the bottom of the 9th when Dylan Leach ended it with an RBI double. In the big-league ballpark, a double down the line gave Hank Zeisler plenty of time to score from 1st base.

Mizzou improves to 1-1 on the year after falling to No. 11 Oklahoma State 5-3 in the season opener. The Tigers continue the College Baseball Showdown slate of Big 12 opponents, taking on No. 15 TCU Sunday at 6:30 p.m. The Horned Frogs opened their season by beating an SEC team, routing Vanderbilt 11-4 Friday before facing No. 8 Arkansas on Saturday.
