Missouri’s SEC Tournament run came to a disappointing conclusion Thursday afternoon, as the Tigers were eliminated after losing to Alabama 4-3. However, Mizzou players can go home knowing they did everything they could possibly do to come away with a win. This included channeling the forces of team ginger, Nolan Gromacki, in the fifth inning.

Shockingly, this immediately worked as Brett Peel put Mizzou up a run after his 2-rbi double:

Perhaps Mizzou players should have tempered their use of the magical ginger force. Based on Gromacki’s Twitter feed, it’s been their go-to move throughout the season:
