Mississippi State, Ole Miss Achieve Dominant Baseball Victories

In a stunning performance, unranked Mississippi State baseball defeated No. 14 Alabama 13-3 on Friday night, marking a significant win for the Bulldogs. Mississippi State's offense was explosive, highlighted by a seven-run fifth inning that turned a close game into a rout. Starter Pico Kohn and reliever Stone Simmons combined for an effective outing, with Simmons earning the win as the Bulldogs improved to 21-13 overall. Alabama's head coach acknowledged the relentless hitting of Mississippi State, while the Crimson Tide struggled to capitalize on their 11 hits, with only three runs to show for their efforts.
