How Valincius brothers helped Mississippi State crush Missouri in SEC Tournament
Mississippi State baseball scored eight runs in the sixth inning to run-rule Missouri in the second round of the SEC Tournament.
HOOVER, AL — Mississippi State baseball won its first game of the SEC Tournament on a run rule to reach the quarterfinals. The No. 8 seed Bulldogs (40-16) defeated No.
16 Missouri 12-2 in seven innings in the second round on May 20. It was one day after the Tigers (24-31) upset No. 9 Ole Miss in the first round for its first SEC Tournament win since in 2017.
The win for MSU, based on the latest NCAA Tournament projections , should solidify any doubts that it won’t host a regional at Dudy Noble Field. Mississippi State will play No. 1 seed Georgia (43-12) on May 21 (3 p.
m. , SEC Network). Georgia swept Mississippi State in Starkville in April.
