Ross Mitchell was the starter for the Bulldogs and had a spectacular night. He struck out one in 6 innings pitched. He had the game in control entering the 6th inning, with Mississippi State leading LSU 1-0. With a man on 1st with 1 out, a ball was grounded to Mitchell, and he picked it up in what is going to be an inning ending double play, but the ball slipped out of his glove and Ross was credited with an error. Later, an RBI single and a sac fly RBI gave LSU the lead and the momentum. Jacob Lindgren was called up in relief, and struck out 2 in 2 innings pitched.
The one run for MSU came from Demarcus Henderson, who hit an RBI single in the 4th, bringing in Brett Pirtle.
The one thing I will vividly remember in this game was John Cohen's first ever ejection as the head coach of Mississippi State. The home plate umpire didn't call a catcher's interference while Matthew Britton was at bat, leading to him running out of the dugout, and yelling his head off with veins popping out of his neck.
Yeah, he was pretty mad. Mississippi State drops to 20-12, 6-5 and will hope to grab one game in the series Sunday at 1:30.
