Columbia, Mo. - Lee Laskowski's seventh-inning grand slam capped a six-run Missouri rally, as the Tigers overcame a five-run deficit to stun No. 10 Nebraska, 16-12 in front of a crowd of 1,006 at Simmons Field Sunday afternoon.

Laskowski, who went 2-for-4 with a career-high seven RBIs, gave Missouri, which improved to 16-18 overall and 5-10 in the Big 12, the lead for good at 13-12 lead with a two-out grand slam to left off Husker reliever Jason Burch, who took the loss to fall to 3-2 on the season.

Trailing 12-7, the Tigers strung together six his and capitalized on two costly Husker errors and a passed ball for their six-run rally. With two outs and NU holding a 12-8 lead, NU reliever Jeremy Becker got Jody Roughton to hit a grounder between first and second, but Will Bolt made a diving stop and could not get a handle on it, allowing Roughton to reach, as W.T. Hoover scored from third to make it 12-9. Burch was brought in out of the bullpen, but his 1-0 offering was belted by the Tiger right fielder for his third homer of the season.

Nebraska dropped to 23-13 and 10-8 in league play with the loss, marking the second time MU had overcome a deficit of four runs or more during the weekend series.

With winds blowing out, the teams combined for 28 runs and 26 hits, including six homers. NU finished with 11 hits, including home runs from Matt Hopper, Drew Anderson and Jeff Blevins, who had three hits and scored three times, but could not hold the lead in the later innings.

NU jumped on Missouri starter Drew Endicott for six runs in the first, as the first five batters he faced came around to score. Jeff Leise, who had two hits and drove in three runs, drew a leadoff walk and stole second before Daniel Bruce walked to move runners to first and second. Jed Morris continued his torrid stretch with an RBI single to left before Matt Hopper lifted a towering three-run homer to left center, his fifth of the season, to give the Huskers a 4-0 advantage. Jeff Blevins continued the onslaught with a double to right before Anderson added to the Husker lead with a two-out, two-run homer to right, his first of the season, off the Tiger starter.

The Tigers scored a run in the first and came back with four more off NU starter Brian Duensing in the second. MU loaded up the bases before Luke Cassis' RBI single and Jody Roughton's bases loaded walk cut the NU lead to 5-3. Laskowski, who drove in MU's first run, delivered a two-run single to center to put the hosts within a run at 5-4.

Nebraska quickly extended the lead to 10-5, chasing Endicott with four runs in the third with only one hit. NU loaded the bases before MU reliever Abel Newton hit Joe Simokaitis with the bases loaded before Leise cleaned the bases with a three-run double into the right field corner.

Endicott lasted just 2.1 innings, allowing eight runs on four hits, while walking three batters, as neither starter was involved in the decision.

After the rocky second, Duensing settled down, allowing two runs, solo homers by Chris Julo in the fourth and Jody Roughton in the sixth, as the freshman pitched six innings in his first conference start. The southpaw scattered 11 hits, but struck out five and left with a 12-7 lead on Blevins' third homer of the year, a solo shot in the sixth, and Bruce's RBI single in the seventh off Travis Wendte, who was the beneficiary of the MU comback, throwing three innings of improve to 3-1 on the season.

The Huskers return home for a Tuesday night contest against Creighton at Hawks Field, beginning at 6:35 p.m. The Bluejays won the first of three meetings, 8-3, at the CU Sports Complex last Tuesday.

Notes: With Hopper's homer (the 38th of his career), he now has 184 RBI, moving past Darin Erstad (181, 1993-95) into fourth place on NU career charts
