The Rebels headed to Starkville this weekend to take on Mississippi State in a huge in-state rival matchup.
With no surprise, junior Gunnar Hoglund was named starting pitcher for the first game and had a fantastic showing. Hoglund went 7.0 innings, allowing just three runs on four hits, with nine strikeouts and no walks. Mississippi State was able to score first, but while Hoglund was pitching, they were only able to score a single run in each inning.
In the third inning, the Rebels worked to tie it up after senior Cael Baker recorded the first hit of the night. This created a two-out rally as freshman Jacob Gonzalez was walked, followed by sophomore Peyton Chatagnier singling to bring Baker home to make it even.
