Mississippi State (36-18, 10-13 SEC) claimed their 4th SEC series victory today as they held off a late surge from the #16 Kentucky Wildcats (34-16, 11-12 SEC). The Bulldogs won 5-3 after defeating Kentucky 5-2 last night.
Like yesterday, Mississippi State jumped out to an early lead. Today, it was caused by Olivia Golden’s RBI sac fly to bring home Bevia Robinson. But it wouldn’t take long for MSU to expand that lead.
In the 3rd inning, Caroline Seitz hit her 9th home run of the year, a solo shot to give the Bulldogs a 2-0 lead.
