Mississippi State falls in game two to Georgia, as the Bulldogs season comes to a close.

State battled all game long, after trailing in the 5th, 7-2. The long ball powered MSU to a 9-8 lead heading into the 9th inning. State got clutch swings from Ace Reese, Noah Sullivan and two clutch big flies from Jacob Parker, but Georgia was able to tie it in the 9th and take the lead in the 10th. MSU had two runners on with two outs, but stranded them after a strikeout to end the game.

The Bulldogs finish the year with an overall record of 43-19. Mississippi State will go to work in the offseason and look for more success in year two under Brian O’Connor.

Final | Georgia 11, Mississippi State 9

[Bulldog Student Sports Network @BSSN_MSU]

A wild game in Athens in a loss for Mississippi State.

Both offenses went wild in this one, with both teams combining for 11 home runs. It was Georgia who sent the last one out of the yard, which was enough to beat MSU. Michael O’Shaugnessy’s three-run HR in the 8th was the final kill-shot in the game. State had a chance in the 9th, but left runners stranded at 1st and 2nd.

State will play with their season on the line tomorrow as Georgia has taken a 1-0 lead in the Super Regional series. MSU will have to win two games in a row over UGA to get to Omaha.

The Bulldogs are feeling super! Mississippi State defeats Louisiana to win the Starkville Regional and move onto supers.

It was an offensive explosion tonight from MSU, as the Dawgs scored their second-most runs in an NCAA Tournament game. State saw a solid start from Ryan McPherson, who the maroon and white are counting on in starting efforts this postseason, along with Valincius and Stone.

With the win, the Bulldogs advance to Super Regionals for the first time since 2021, the year that MSU won its first national championship. Mississippi State will travel to Athens next weekend to take on the Bulldogs of Georgia in a three-game set to decide who goes to Omaha.
