STARKVILLE, Miss. – Andy Armstrong set a career-high with four hits and the Beavers posted a four-run eighth inning to the finale of a three-game series over Mississippi State Sunday afternoon at Dudy Noble Field at Polk-DeMent Stadium.
Alex McGarry reached on an bases-loaded infield single to make it 3-2, which was followed by a Ryan Ober sacrifice fly to push the Beavers' lead to 4-2. Troy Claunch punctuated the four-run frame with a double off the wall in right center.
All four runs in the eighth were charged to Mississippi State reliever Jared Shemper, who took the loss and is now 0-1 on the year.
