OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Mississippi State's flair for the dramatic continued in its College World Series opener.
Luke Alexander's drive to right field got past Christian Jones in the bottom of the ninth inning, allowing Hunter Stovall to score from second base to give Mississippi State a 1-0 victory over Washington on Saturday night.
Of the Bulldogs' seven wins in the NCAA Tournament, three have come in walk-off fashion and a fourth on their final at-bat.
"We've been through a lot this year, and when situations like that come up, we as a whole team have full confidence in whoever is at the plate and that it's going to happen," Hunter Stovall said.
