The Bulldogs failed to convert in big spots, and it proved costly.
The margin of error is always tight in baseball, but missed opportunities get magnified in the postseason. Mississippi State left runs and outs on the field in their loss to Virginia.
MSU added to their lead in the fourth as junior Bryce Chance, who reached on an infield single, scored from second base after a pickoff attempt went into center field. The Bulldogs had all the momentum, and Cijntje was dealing. That momentum carried into the bottom of the inning as the Cavaliers would tie the game, thanks again to Becker, who got a two-RBI single. Cijntje bore down and kept it at a tie game; the ambidextrous pitcher faced one of the best lineups in the nation, worked seven innings, and made two mistakes.
