Saturday's win over UConn was the first win of the season for Missouri Tigers baseball, but also the 100th in the career of head coach Kerrick Jackson.

This is Jackson's second season with Missouri after spending 2023 with Memphis and 2018-2020 with Southern. His best season thus far in his career came with Southern in 2019, going 32-24 en route to winning the West division of the SWAC and making it to the Regional round of the NCAA Tournament.
