STARKVILLE – Mississippi State dropped game three of the series to Florida by a score of 6-2 on Sunday (May 8) at Dudy Noble Field in Starkville.
There were five scoreless innings played after a 1-1 tie in the second inning before Florida scored five runs in the eighth and ninth innings. The Bulldogs' scoring started in the first inning on a two-out infield pop-up by Hunter Hines that got lost in the sun, scoring Luke Hancock from second. Logan Tanner later homered in the ninth to close the gap.
Cade Smith started on the bump for MSU and made efficient work in his appearance. He went seven full innings allowing just one run on five hits, walked two and fanned seven batters. Pico Kohn, Jackson Fristoe and Drew Talley also made relief appearances.
Along with Logan Tanner's home run, five other Bulldogs picked up base hits: RJ Yeager, Luke Hancock, Hunter Hines, Jess Davis and Lane Forsythe.
