How to Watch: Missouri Baseball vs UT Martin
Missouri has a five-game losing streak to their name heading into their mid-week series against UT Martin. They will try to right the ship before they dive back into SEC play against Georgia this weekend.
The Tigers are slated for a busy week. Instead of their usual midweek game, they have a two-game series. This is their only two game series of the year.

For game two, Missouri will send out freshman right-hander Josh McDevitt for his third start of the year. In each of his last two appearances, McDevitt threw a combined 4 1/3 innings and gave up seven hits and eight runs. His last outing against Illinois was rough. Six of those runs came on five hits against the Fighting Illini.
