Mississippi State Blows Three Run Lead to Florida due to 8th Inning of Horror

The title says it all. Mississippi State entered the eighth inning leading Florida 3-0. Fifty minutes later, the half inning ended with the Bulldogs trailing 11-3.

Cole Gordon got the start for Mississippi State and had his best outing of his career. Gordon pitched seven shutout innings giving up no runs on three hits, seven strikeouts, and only one walk.

Gordon would be responsible for one run in the eighth inning after giving up a lead off single and was replaced by Spencer Price.

It would take a combination of five pitchers to get out of the eighth inning.
