Game one started Thursday night with Trevor Fitts starting, and after a shaky 1st inning, he got hot. He struck out six and gave up one run in 6 innings. With the threat of bad weather coming into the Starkville area, they finished that night's action through 6 innings. Jacob Lindgren resumed the game for the Bulldogs on Friday and struggled. He gave up two walks and a hit and faced only four batters. Jonathan Holder finished the job for MSU, getting out of that 7th inning, striking out four and giving up one hit in 2 2/3 innings pitched.
Trevor Fitts Struck Out Six and Gave Up One Run in MSU's 5-1 Win Over Texas A&M
Seth Heck had the hot bat in game one, going 3-5 with an RBI and a run scored. Wes Rea also had a good day going 2-4.
This game was pretty much all Mississippi State, all the time. Mississippi State scored three runs in the 1st after a 2 RBI single by Gavin Collins and a wild pitch scoring Collins. The Bulldogs scored again in the 2nd after an RBI double by Seth Heck. After two scoreless innings for both teams, A&M got a run on the board in the 5th off of a wild pitch. In the 8th, Mississippi State finished the scoring with a solo shot by Cody Brown, sealing the 5-1 victory.
Game two showed a completely different story, as Texas A&M dominated the Bulldogs with a 6-3 victory. Ross Mitchell started for MSU, and had a very shaky outing. In 4 1/3 innings, Mitchell struck out two, but gave up five runs on seven hits. Myles Gentry replaced Mitchell on the mound and struck out four and gave up one run in 4 innings pitched. Vance Tatum finished the job, striking out one in 2/3 innings.
This game is another one where the Bulldog bats were hot, but no one could put a run across. Alex Detz went 3-5 with 1 RBI, Brett Pirtle went 3-4 with 1 RBI, which could've been more after he hit a home run that could have scored two, but it was a ground rule double in the 3rd. The Bulldogs didn't score any in that inning. Seth Heck went 2-4, and Matthew Britton went 2-4 with a run scored.
As I said before, this game was all Texas A&M. After two scoreless innings to open up the ballgame, Texas A&M was able to put a run across in the 3rd with and RBI single. After a scoreless 4th for both teams, it was a run friendly 5th. A&M scored four runs and MSU scored two, giving the Aggies the 5-2 lead. In the 7th, Mississippi State scored from a sac fly from Gavin Collins and in the 9th, A&M scored after an RBI single, finishing the game at 6-3.
Mississippi State is now 28-16, 11-9 and will look to win the series Saturday at 2:15 on FSN or ESPN3.
