OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Chad Creger hit a three-run homer, Wade Gaynor became Western Kentucky's first 20-20 player and the Hilltoppers beat Missouri 11-6 Sunday in an NCAA elimination game.

Western Kentucky beat Missouri (35-27) for the second time in the regional.

Creger tied his career high with five RBIs. The right-fielder went 4 for 5 with four runs scored and a stolen base. His second-inning homer gave Western Kentucky (41-19) a 7-0 lead.
