The matchup
• Mizzou meets the Jayhawks for the 346th time on Tuesday. Mizzou owns a 218-125-2 all-time record against Kansas.
• The two rivals are meeting for the first time since Mizzou moved to the SEC. The most recent meeting came in 2012 when the Tigers crushed the Jayhawks 12-2 in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals. Mizzou went on to claim the tournament crown that season.
• The series with Kansas is the most frequently played in Mizzou history and one of the oldest, dating to 1901.
on the bump
• Lukas Veinbergs made his first career start to open the Frisco Classic and tossed a career-best five innings with seven strikeouts.
• Six days later, Veinbergs outdid himself, tossing 5.2 IP and setting a new career best with eight strikeouts.
• In his two starts, Veinbergs has worked 10.2 IP with a 0.84 ERA and 15 strikeouts.
• The right-hander is scheduled to make his third start on Tuesday in Lawrence.
Tre turning it on
• Junior catcher Tre Morris has hit in each of his past four games, including all three in the weekend series versus top-ranked Vanderbilt.
• Morris is hitting .385 (5-for-13) during the four-game stretch and added his third multi-hit game of the season in Saturday’s finale with the Commodores.
• In SEC play this season, Morris leads the Tigers with his .400 (6-for-15) batting average. He has a homer and team-leading four RBI during conference action.
• In the series against the Commodores, Morris hit .444 (4-for-9). He also had a pair of hard-hit line drives knocked down by pitchers to rob him of hits in Thursday’s opener.
Mcnamara returns to fold
• After winning the second base job out of fall camp, a preseason injury held sophomore Dalton McNamara out of non-conference action this spring.
• McNamara made his return to action at Taylor Stadium against Vanderbilt, pinch hitting in each of the first two games before making the start in Saturday’s finale.
• In his Saturday start, McNamara went 1-for-3 with a single and a walk. His fifth-inning knock was his first of the season.
