After dropping the game to LSU (42-17) last night, the Mississippi State Bulldogs (41-15-1) will take on the Florida Gators (45-12) tonight in an elimination matchup.
In last night's game, Dakota Hudson struggled a bit again against the Tigers, only throwing 5 innings. And while he struck out 6 batters, he still surrendered 9 hits which led to 4 runs, 2 of which were earned. The Bulldogs struggled to string together hits too, as they could only bring in 2 runs off of 8 hits that were spread out throughout the game.
With the loss last night, in the long run it might actually be better for Mississippi State to lose tonight.
