Mississippi State came from behind twice to tie the game in critical innings

Mississippi State came from behind twice to tie the game in critical innings – once in the seventh and again in the ninth when Hunter Hines homered down the left field line to make it a 5-5 game and send it to the 10th inning. In the bottom of the 10th, Lane Forsythe reached on a single, went to third on a two-base error before Kamren James hit a sacrifice fly for the Bulldogs to clinch the win. Forsythe recorded a career-high four hits in the game to lead the Dawgs.
For the Bulldogs, KC Hunt (1-1) received the win after coming on in relief in the ninth and allowed no runs on one hit with five strikeouts to secure the win during his two innings on the mound. Pico Kohn pitched the first two innings allowing four hits and two runs that were both earned.
Five Dawgs followed Kohn – Parker Stinnett, Drew Talley, Brooks Auger, Jackson Fristoe and Hunt. Stinnett allowed one hit and one run with one strikeout during two innings on the mound. Talley collected three strikeouts and allowed only one hit in two innings on the mound while Auger pitched one inning and allowed no runs or hits with two strikeouts. Fristoe pitched one inning before Hunt and allowed two runs on three hits.

Logan Tanner went 2-for-5 as well as Hines who collected his 10th home run of the season during the bottom of the ninth to tie the game, 5-5, and force extra innings.
