STARKVILLE, Miss. -- In front of the second-largest Super Regional crowd in MSU history, No. 4 Mississippi State could not cash in on limited scoring chances Friday night in a 1-0 loss to Arizona in game one of the Starkville Super Regional.
The best-of-three series resumes with a 5 p.m. start Saturday (ESPNU). If Mississippi State can even the series, a third game will be played at 5 p.m. Sunday (ESPN2 or ESPNU). The super regional winner will advance to the College World Series, which begins June 18 in Omaha, Nebraska.
The story of the contest was Arizona pitcher Bobby Dalbec.
