No. 5 Baseball comes up short in opener at State

STARKVILLE, Miss. Jonah Todd extended his hitting streak to 11 games, but No. 5 Auburn baseball fell 5-2 to No. 8 Mississippi State Friday at Dudy Noble Field.

“I thought Keegan [Thompson] went to another gear a couple of times,” Auburn head coach Butch Thompson said. “I won’t take away anything Konnor Pilkington did. There’s a reason why, outside of their first weekend, they’ve won every Friday night. We knew something had to give tonight.

“We just kept battling. It was just one of those nights. No excuses, I thought we did play hard.
