April 26, 2022 | Baseball
Hines was responsible for bringing in State’s only two runs
PEARL, Miss. – Mississippi State (24-18, 8-10 SEC) fell in the Governor's Cup to Ole Miss (23-17, 6-12 SEC) by a score of 5-2 on Tuesday night (April 26) at Trustmark Park in Pearl, Mississippi.
Mississippi State fell behind 2-0 in the opening frame after Ole Miss scored two runs from a walk and a triple, but the lead did not last long. State answered quickly in the bottom of the first frame by tying the game at 2-2 after a few walks, an infield single by Hunter Hines and an Ole Miss throwing error, however Ole Miss later took the lead in the fifth and never looked back.
Mikey Tepper started on the mound for the Bulldogs and allowed two runs on two hits with four strikeouts in four innings before Lane Forsythe (0-1) entered the game and was charged the loss after allowing three runs.
Cam Tullar made a solid relief appearance after coming on in the fifth and striking out two batters to end the three-run inning for Ole Miss. Tullar collected a career high in strikeouts (8) and only allowed one hit during his 3.2 innings on the mound. Drew Talley closed out the night by pitching a scoreless frame in the ninth.
Offensively, Hines was responsible for bringing in State's only two runs after he hit a single to third base which scored Luke Hancock and Logan Tanner who both reached base on back-to-back walks. Hancock's run was earned, but Tanner scored after a throwing error was made from Ole Miss third baseman, Reagan Burford.
