  • Mississippi State went on the road for the first time in the 2025 season and didn't play well enough to beat the Southern Miss Golden Eagles. Four offensive hits and four more errors told the tale of a rough night at the park for the Diamond Dawgs.

Chris Lemonis, the head coach of Mississippi State's baseball team, expressed his frustration following a 7-7 tie game against Southern Miss that ended in a loss due to the NCAA's new tiebreaker rule. This rule, implemented for the first time in this game, awards the win to the team leading after the last completed inning when weather conditions halt play. Mississippi State was leading 7-6 after the 10th inning, but Southern Miss scored in the top of the 11th before the game was called due to lightning. Lemonis highlighted the disappointment of not being able to finish the game, especially since his team had been in a position to win. He also mentioned the team's struggle with pitching, noting that they've been "chasing pitching all year" and that the bullpen has been a significant issue. Despite the loss, Lemonis remains focused on moving forward, with the next game against Ole Miss on the horizon.
