The Missouri State baseball team scored five runs in the fourth inning and added six more over the seventh and eighth frames after Evansville had crept within two for an 11-3 Missouri Valley Conference win. The Bears improved to 25-16 overall and 11-3 in the MVC, moving into a tie for first in the league with Creighton after the Bluejays and Bradley were rained out Sunday in Omaha. Evansville fell to 20-22 and 7-11 in conference play. 
The Bears ran the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Drake Relays, one of the most prestigious track meets in the country. Sophomore Terry Phillips broke her own record in the 3,000-meter steeplechase by finishing at 10:19.45, nearly eight seconds faster than her previous best. Her time was another NCAA Regional mark and placed her second in the event. She also owns the fastest time in the conference this season for the steeplechase.
