Live updates: Mississippi State beats USM 8-6 to win regional championship

HATTIESBURG — The Mississippi State Bulldogs are not done yet.

MSU rallied late Monday night and into early Tuesday morning at Pete Taylor Park, beating Southern Miss 8-6 to win the Hattiesburg Regional.

Down to their last loss after South Alabama beat them on Friday, the Bulldogs won four in a row between Sunday and Monday in order to advance to next weekend’s super regional at LSU.

Mississippi State (40-25) won the day’s first game easily, 8-1, but things immediately did not go its way in the second game. Southern Miss (50-16) jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the first inning, and made it 5-1 in the fourth.
