STARKVILLE – Mississippi State baseball completed a sweep of Lipscomb at Dudy Noble Field on Saturday. The game was moved up due to an incoming storm, but the downpour started early for the Bisons, losing 26-0 in MSU’s biggest victory since a 29-run win in 1999.
The Bulldogs scored in each of the first five innings, starting with two from a two-run home run from Noah Sullivan in the first inning, and then a five-run second featuring RBI hits from Drew Wyers, Ace Reese, Sullivan and Vytas Valincius.
Then came the avalanche.
The Bulldogs posted 12 runs in a third inning that lasted nearly an hour, the highlight being a three-run shot from Sullivan to add to his remarkable day at the plate. 13 of 15 Bulldog batters recorded at least one RBI, while Kevin Milewski and Gehrig Frei joined Sullivan with home runs.
The third inning settled any doubts left in the contest, but MSU kept adding runs with four in the fourth and three in the fifth. Charlie Foster, Dane Burns and Parker Rhodes got an inning of action each on the mound as well to round out the shutout, allowing just one hit.
MSU will be back in action against Tulane in Biloxi on Tuesday, and then face No. 6 Arkansas in the opening series of SEC play in Fayetteville next weekend.
