PEARL - The Mississippi State baseball team is only eight games into the season, but the Bulldogs have already earned a deserved reputation for late-game dramatics.
There would be no such theatrics against in-state rival Southern Mississippi (4-4) at Trustmark Park on Wednesday night. Instead, No. 3 Mississippi State (6-2) put together one of its most complete pitching efforts of the young season to defeat the Golden Eagles 4-1.
“We’re learning a lot about ourselves right now and who we are,” Bulldogs head coach Chris Lemonis said.
