STARKVILLE – It was hard to tell which aspect of Mississippi State’s 8-2 victory over Missouri was more impressive Thursday night.
The fourth-ranked Diamond Dogs tied a season-high collecting 19 hits while ace Dakota Hudson tied a career-best with 11 strikeouts in 8 1/3 innings on the mound.
“We need everybody,” said MSU skipper John Cohen. “We need all pistons to be firing at the same time because in this stretch run these games are critical to help us achieve the goals that we want to achieve.”
Hudson did not issue a walk as he improved to 7-3 while scattering seven hits and giving up one earned run.
