Baseball Falls in Seven Innings in Battle of Top 25 Teams at Mississippi State
3/24/2026 9:25:00 PM | Baseball
STARKVILLE, Miss. – No. 6 Mississippi State scored in each of the first five innings en route to a 12-0 seven inning, run-rule victory over No. 11 Southern Miss in front of 12,887 at Dudy Noble Field Tuesday evening.
The Golden Eagles (19-6) had a two-game winning streak snapped and were shut out for the first time since dropping a 6-0 decision at Marshall on April 5, 2025. The Bulldogs improved to 21-4 to even the season series with Southern Miss. The Golden Eagles won a meeting earlier this month, 7-6, in Hattiesburg.
Aidan Teel led the Bulldogs 14-hit attack with three singles and a two-run homer, for his third homer of the season.
Jacob Parker added a three-run blast as well for his fourth of the year.
Joey Urban paced the Golden Eagle seven-hit offense with a pair of singles, while Davis Gillespie and Gray Eubanks each doubled in the contest.
Golden Eagle starter Thomas Crabtree (0-2) allowed three runs on three hits with a walk and a strikeout over a third of an inning to suffer the loss. MSU reliever Jack Bauer, who retired all four batters he faced with a strikeout, garnered the win and improved to 1-0.
The Bulldogs scored three runs in the first, a solo tally in the second, before exploding for a five-run third and then added a lone run in the fourth, before completing their scoring with a two-run fifth.
Five different Bulldogs finished the contest by driving in at least two runs.
The Golden Eagles return to action this weekend when they play host to App State in a Sun Belt Conference series. The set begins Friday night at Pete Taylor Park/Hill Denson Field at 6 p.m.
