Mississippi State’s baseball team has been struggling to put together a complete performance in Southeastern Conference play. After a tough loss to No. 8 LSU, the Bulldogs faced more challenges with pitching collapses and cold bats. Despite scoring opportunities, MSU failed to capitalize, leaving 12 runners on base and striking out 18 times in the Friady night game. The lack of timely hitting cost the Bulldogs the game.
On Saturday, the Bulldogs found themselves in an even bigger hole after pitcher Karson Ligon struggled in the first inning, allowing eight runs. Although MSU’s offense showed signs of life with a few key hits, the pitching couldn’t keep up, leading to a 17-8 defeat.
Head coach Chris Lemonis acknowledged the team’s struggles and emphasized the importance of relaxation and fun in the game. With a midweek game against Memphis and a series against South Carolina coming up, the Bulldogs are looking to bounce back and start winning ballgames.
The Bulldogs ace Pico Kohn and the bullpen will need to step up to support the offense and secure victories in the upcoming games. Despite the challenges faced by the team, Lemonis remains hopeful that with a few adjustments and a positive mindset, Mississippi State can turn things around and start winning games in the SEC.
