What are some takeaways from a series loss for Mississippi State?
STARKVILLE, Miss. — Mississippi State baseball drops the series to the Arkansas Razorbacks on the road. It was a frustrating weekend for the Bulldogs as they could have gotten a sweep, but they needed one win, and they got it.Coming into this season, the Bulldogs had the potential to have a special middle of the lineup with Dakota Jordan and Hunter Hines.
State took a 5-4 lead in the eighth inning after a sacrifice fly, and they gave the ball to Hardin looking for a six-out save. The junior right-hander did not do well as he always pitches to contact, but the Razorbacks were getting base hits instead of ground outs. Arkansas would tie the game off Black, and they would take the lead off Schuelke. The decision was peculiar, but MSU had already used their top arms on the weekend, Hardin, Davis, and Auger, so maybe the coaching staff was just being cautious with their arms.
State stranded 37 runners over the weekend, and they still scored runs. The frustrating part is the lineup played well on paper, as they had a lot of success against a stellar pitching staff, but they could have done so much more.
