Mizzou Baseball was riding high after a sweep of 2024 national finalist Texas A&M last weekend, securing the team’s first three conference wins of the season. But Mississippi State quickly brought the Tigers back down to earth Thursday and Friday, scoring two dominant victories in Columbia.
Mizzou gave up eight home runs in the series opener against the Bulldogs, falling 25-7 after allowing 10 runs in the final inning.
True freshman starter Brady Kehlenbrink faced his second straight setback, allowing seven hits and seven runs (five of them earned) in 3.1 innings pitched.
Mississippi State put three runs on the board in the top of the first with the help of a wild pitch and an error by Keegan Knutson, then Reed Stallman added a solo home run to left-center field the next inning to make it 4-0.
