The Lions added to their advantage with a four-run seventh inning to stretch the lead to 9-2.

Benson led the Tigers at the plate, going 2-for-3 with three RBI. Freshman Luke Sullivan started on the mound, while Isaiah Salas provided scoreless relief.
Missouri returns home to open SEC play against Texas A&M this weekend.
