Logan Lunceford and Brock Lucas silenced Mississippi State hitters out of the bullpen, and Jackson Lovich launched the go-ahead homer in the seventh inning to help Missouri rally from an early deficit and win 4-3 over No. 16 Mississippi State on Saturday in Starkville, Mississippi. Despite winning the finale, Mississippi State still took the series from Mizzou with wins in Games 1 and 2. The Bulldogs also ended Missouri’s season by winning Thursday night, which eliminated Mizzou from SEC Tournament contention.
Lovich’s bomb came at the opportune time for a Tigers team looking to end its season on a high note.
