As expected MSU fell in the polls following a poor showing on opening weekend.
Opening weekend didn't go like MSU baseball fans planned. The diamond dogs blasted South Dakota State twice but lost both games against a quality opponent in Florida Atlantic.
MSU lost its opener on Friday 10-6 to FAU. After a 17-4 rebound win against SDSU Saturday, a 4-0 loss to FSU in game two spoiled the weekend. The Bulldogs did close out on Sunday with a 10-run victory over SDSU in seven innings, but it wasn't enough to save them from sliding in the polls.
