BATON ROUGE, La. – Mississippi State junior first baseman Nathaniel Lowe hit a grand slam and drove in six runs as the No. 11 Bulldogs beat No. 7 LSU 12-8 in the opening game of a three-game Southeastern Conference baseball series Friday night at Alex Box Stadium.
“Our kids just kept battling,” MSU head coach John Cohen said. “They knew going in we were going to have score some runs in this game. A lot of lesser teams would have given up when you are in foreign territory and give up a grand slam.
