PAGE: B07PD1SP0515 Sports 1 TUESDAY MAY 15, 2007 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH STLTODAY.COM B7 Service Academy Classic, when the Tigers lost three of four games. It was the lowest point of the season and one that made the coaching staff revisit its approach to hitting. Under Jamieson, Mizzou has been the Oakland Athletics of the Midwest. The Tigers are patient at the plate, work pitchers into a favorable count, and take walks when they can.

But that approach working early this season, especially in the middle of the lineup, so Jamieson decided to free his minds. Now, they hit what they see. Third baseman Kyle Mach was the rst to see the ts of the change in philosophy. Mach was hitting about .150 through the first 13 games of the season, but he broke out against Youngstown State, the series after the Service Academy Classic, and started a seven-game hitting streak. Mach is now second on the team with a .306 average.

If you get a pitch to hit, you go for Missouri went on to win its next 14 games and has taken every Big 12 series except one against Texas which had a game canceled because of bad weather. The Tigers are tied for second in the Big 12, poised to have their highest nish in conference play and make their fifth consecutive NCAA Regional appearance.

success is even more impressive because the team was picked by the coaches to finish eighth, out of 10 teams, in the Big 12. The Tigers lost top pitchers Max Scherzer and Nathan Culp to the pros but have found capable replacements in Aaron Crow and Rick Zagone. The Tigers have also had limited injuries this season and gotten players back who were injured a year ago, including junior Jacob Priday, who has been the hottest Tiger of late. In his past seven games, Priday is hitting .481 with six home runs. He leads the team with eight home runs and is batting .340 during Big 12 play.

struggled early on, but playing conference really got me over the hump, coming out here everyday and getting into a Priday said. the second or third week, really been even keel.
