Entering SBW16 the Diamond Dawgs had not dropped a conference series yet this season. MSU had taken 2 out 3 games in every SEC series, including last weekend at then #1 Florida. That changed this weekend when Texas A&M came into Dudy Noble and swept all 3 games.
It started Friday night when the Aggies, not unlike Florida, were able to get to Dawgs’ ace Dakota Hudson. He went 7 innings giving up 4 runs on 10 hits. A Gavin Collins sac fly and Brent Rooker RBI single had the bulldogs down 4-2 headed into the 8th. Cody Brown would score on a wild pitch to bring it within one and the crowd came alive.
