The second game, an 11-4 loss, was a much different story. MSU starter Khal Stephen allowed four runs in the first and didn’t make it through the third inning after allowing another three runs. Behind him, the bullpen allowed four runs to give Mississippi State an 11-1 deficit before coming to bat in the fifth.

MSU won its opening series last weekend against Air Force by taking the rubber match after splitting the opening two games. However, MSU went on to drop two midweek games against Austin Peay before welcoming Georgia Southern (2-4) to Starkville.
