LSU Gets Run-Ruled In Rubber Match vs. Mississippi State, 15-5

STARKVILLE, Miss. – Rightfielder Dakota Jordan drove in four runs Sunday to lead Mississippi State to a 15-5 win over No. 2 LSU at Dudy Noble Field. The game ended in the bottom of the eighth inning due to the SEC 10-run rule.

Mississippi State improved to 15-6 overall, 2-1 in the SEC, while LSU dropped to 17-4 overall and 1-2 in conference play.

The Tigers return to action at 6:30 p.m. CT Tuesday when they play host to Louisiana Tech in Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. The game will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network, and it will be streamed on SEC Network +.

“It’s my job to separate the results from the play,” said LSU coach Jay Johnson. “There are elements of it that we want to get batter at, and there are elements where we’re good and can build from.”

MSU pitcher Jurrangelo Cijntje earned the win, as he worked five innings and allowed three runs on five hits with five walks and six strikeouts.

LSU starter Thatcher Hurd (1-2) was charged with the loss, as he allowed seven run on seven hits in five innings with three walks and three strikeouts.
