In front of a crowd of roughly 5,000 people, the Golden Eagles extended their winning streak to eight games after beating in-state rival Mississippi State 7 – 5.
“We’ve done some things that are good over the first 21 games,” said Head Coach Scott Berry. “It’s not just nine guys doing all the work, it’s the whole team. We just got to remain humble and stay the course.”
The Golden Eagles came out with a hot start, scoring four runs in the bottom of the first inning. State found itself in an early pitching jam after Dylan Burdeaux and Hunter Slater were both walked.
