In a stunning turn of events, the University of Missouri's baseball team, Mizzou, completed a series sweep against the sixth-ranked University of Florida Gators, marking their fourth straight win. The series, marked by close games and dramatic finishes, culminated in an 11-10 victory for Mizzou, highlighted by Jeric Curtis's walk-off RBI single that scored Brock Daniels. This victory is particularly notable as Mizzou entered the weekend with a 1-8 record in SEC play, while the Gators, having previously won five straight rubber matches, limped into the series after being swept at Clemson. The decisive run in the penultimate game was scored via a wild pitch, leading to a 4-3 win for Mizzou. This series win marks a significant turnaround for Mizzou, especially considering they were swept by Vanderbilt the previous weekend, managing only two runs across the entire series. The Gators now face the challenge of recovering in time for Tuesday's rivalry game in Tallahassee.
Missouri, the team Vanderbilt swept last weekend and held to two runs in the entire series, scored 5x that many today alone in its sweep of Florida https://t.co/Ri6OvEcDSA

Final: #Mizzou 11, Florida 10 Jeric Curtis walks it off with an RBI single to drive home Brock Daniels from third. Missouri completes the ninth inning comeback and sweeps the No. 6-ranked team in the country. What a finish at Taylor. https://t.co/lWvWO8BJBx
FSU limped into the last FSU-UF game after being swept at Clemson. It would seem the Gators are in serious danger of being swept at Mizzou (which was 1-8 in SEC play entering this weekend) going into Tuesday's rivalry game in Tallahassee. https://t.co/cUCZ8N9X2k
After five straight rubber match wins, No. 6 Florida won't get the chance tomorrow: @MizzouBaseball knocks off the Gators to pick up a big series win. This run via a wild pitch was the difference in a 4-3 win and the Tigers have won four straight. https://t.co/15EFsbqv0x
