Game 2: Mississippi St defeats Texas A&M 5-1

As good as the Aggie performance at the plate was Thursday, it was the opposite Friday afternoon. Texas A&M scored only one run on five hits as Mississippi State rebounded well to defeat Texas A&M 5-1.

Passed balls and errors did not help Texas A&M as well and the Bulldogs were able to take full advantage of the Aggie miscues. In the top of the 2nd, Jake Magnum reacher on a throwing error by Corbin Martin and immediately scored thanks to a Brent Rooker double. Later in the 7th inning, Cody Brown singled to center field and then advance to second and then third thanks to a passed ball and wild pitch respectively.

Corbin Martin was charged with his third loss of the year after 5.2 innings of work. Martin allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out three. Cason Sherrod had a rough 2.2 innings of work, allowing two more runs on three hits. The one bright spot at the plate for Texas A&M was a #Whammy to right field by Blake Koptesky in the bottom of the 5th inning. This was the first home of Blake Koptesky’s Texas A&M career.

Game 3: Mississippi St defeats Texas A&M 4-3

There can not be enough said about Stephen Kolek’s performance on Saturday afternoon as Mississippi St scraped by with a 4-3 victory over Texas A&M. Kolek delivered a solid 6.2 innings of work and struck out 11 Bulldogs. Kolek was replaced in the 6th inning with two outs and runners on first and third by Mitchell Kilkenny. Kilkenny was unable to close the door on Mississippi St. The Bulldogs were able to rack up three runs on him on the way to a 4-3 victory.

Braden Shewmake continued to act like the SEC Freshman of the Year with his 57th RBI of the year as he brought in Nick Choruby in the top of the 1st inning. Joel Davis and Blake Koptesky added on with solo #Whammys in the 4th and 6th inning respectively.
