Redshirt sophomore outfielder Brent Rooker hit a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the sixth inning to give Maroon a 6-2 victory versus Gray in Mississippi State’s 15th scrimmage of the fall. The Sunday afternoon exhibition took place at Dudy Noble Field.
Rooker finished the day 2 for 3 with four RBIs and a run scored. The home run was Rooker’s third of the fall season. Redshirt freshman first baseman Cole Gordon provided the only other hit for Maroon, a two-run home run to right field in the second.
Gray’s only scoring came from a two-run homer to right in the fifth courtesy of redshirt junior outfielder Cody Brown.
