Baseball Defeats No. 9 Mississippi State 7-1 at Trustmark Park Wednesday Night
3/2/2022 10:04:00 PM | Baseball
PEARL, Miss. – Tanner Hall fanned a career-high 13 and Gabe Montenegro drove in three to lead Southern Miss to a 7-1 victory over No. 9 Mississippi State Wednesday night at Trustmark Park.
The Golden Eagles (6-2) snapped a three-game losing streak to the Bulldogs (5-4) as they upended the defending national champions in front of 6,387.
Hall limited the Bulldogs to five hits and one walk with 13 strikeouts over a career-best seven innings. He used the strikeout to work out of a pair of jams in the contest. The Bulldogs registered back-to-back hits with one out in the fourth, but a fielder's choice and strikeout got him out of the jam.
MSU loaded the bases in the sixth, but he got Aaron Downs to strike out and get out of the frame, earning the win to improve to 1-0. Hall's strikeout total was the most by a Golden Eagle since Hunter Stanley fanned 14 versus WKU in the 2021 C-USA Tournament.
Offensively, the Golden Eagles jumped out for good in the third inning with three runs.
After a leadoff walk to Carson Paetow and a single by Rodrigo Montenegro, Dustin Dickerson moved both runners up a base on a sacrifice bunt. The elder Montenegro then tripled in two runs to the right-center gap. Reece Ewing, the next batter, extended his hitting streak to eight games by driving in the third run with a single to center.
A run via a wild pitch extended the lead one frame later and then Slade Wilks doubled the other way into left field to drive home two more runs in the fifth to make the score 6-0.
Gabe Montenegro completed the Golden Eagles scoring with an RBI single in the sixth.
MSU registered its lone run in the eighth as they collected an RBI double from Logan Tanner.
Bulldog starter Jackson Fristoe allowed four runs on four hits with two walks over three-plus innings of work to suffer the loss and fall to 1-1.
The Golden Eagles return to action this weekend when they travel to Lafayette to face Louisiana in a three-game weekend set.
