The Bulldogs’ bats went cold last night as Mississippi State faced off against the Oregon Ducks in Eugene, Oregon.
Mississippi State really couldn’t get anything going at all offensively, but the pitching staff sure performed admirably on the road last night. Konnor Pilkington has had his share of struggles early on, but he threw 7 innings last night, striking out 7, and gave MSU a fighting chance against the Ducks.
But it was State’s lack of hitting, something that has not been a problem up until this point, that doomed the Bulldogs. State struck out 18 times in the game last night, 17 of which were dealt by David Peterson.
