STARKVILLE— After tying the game 3-3, Southern Miss looked to stage a comeback win but instead fell short as Mississippi State’s Tanner Allen hit a two-out RBI double in the bottom of ninth to clinch the series for the Bulldogs with a 4-3 win.
For the second day in a row, Southern Miss struggled at the plate getting just two of its leadoff runners on base and stranding a total of 11 baserunners.
“Two out of the nine innings this game we got the leadoff man on and we got to do a better job at that,” Southern Miss coach Scott Berry said.
