Floyd Temple, thirdbaseman from Coffeyville, was the hero of the marathon victory. He stole home with K.U.'s first run in the seventh, after singing, stealing second, and going to third when M.U. catcher Bob Murrey dropped a third strike.

Roger Englert, M.U. starter, was very effective in early innings, holding the Jayhawkers hitless for the first four innings and never giving up more than one hit an inning. The first 12 pitches he threw were strikes and he threw an average of only seven and a half pitches per innings in the first six frames. Lefty Don Smith went the final three innings.
The Tigers scored their only run in the first inning when Bill Eatowck walked, went to third on Elliott Alberts's double and scored on Jack Frier's double. Missouri's only other threat came in the third, but Moffett, with the bases loaded, got Bob Phillips on a fly to Bertuzzi and struck out Bud Heineman. In the remaining innings the Tigers got only one hit and couldn't get a single man past first base. John Goodson threw out two men trying to steal and Moffett picked Murrey off first in the ninth.
Gilman stopped the Tigers effectively in the second game, allowing only one earned run. He walked one, struck out eight, and gave up only four hits in racking up his sixth straight win.
The Jayhawkers collected only two singles off M.U. hurler Don McMillen, but stole five bases and took full advantage of four M.U.

Missouri tied it up in the second on a two-run single by Bob Phillips, but Gilman ran down Phillips, who was trying to reach second, and Harting was out on an attempted squeeze play. Gilman struck out Eatock with men on second and third in the fifth to take care of the only other Tiger threat.
