So sorry, not at all familiar with "Missouri 8-Ball" rules... anyone else wish to take a whack at it?
However, under the international standard rules for 8 Ball ver 21.12.2007 as adopted by World Pool-Billiards Association, the criteria for a loss are specific:
3.8 Losing the Rack The shooter loses if he:
a. fouls when pocketing the eight ball; b. pockets the eight ball before his group is cleared; c. pockets the eight ball in an uncalled pocket; or d. drives the eight ball off the table.
These do not apply to the break shot. (See 3.3 Break Shot.)

In the known version of Missouri 8-ball rules it is a loss of game if you scratch with only the 8 ball left.

@JayJantzen, if you want to check it out, I posted a comment under the rules of Missouri Eight Ball with my version of the rules which might clear up your confusion.
It is probably the least played game because people are unfamiliar with the aspects of the rules of the game!
