Mississippi State Blows by MVSU 13-2

On Tuesday Mississippi State hosted Mississippi Valley State and had little trouble overcoming them to notch their 4th win of the season. Freshman Tyler Whitney pitched 5 innings over which he scattered 4 hits, struck out 3, and gave up one run. State continued their stellar hitting with 19 in this game. Brandon Turner led the way with 3 hits while Mitch Moreland led with this 3 RBIs. Also for the 3rd time in 4 games, Miss State had no errors.

Another game against weak competition. Once again not too much to be taken from this game aside from another strong showing offensively. Whether that will be sustained against better teams is yet to be seen. We'll get a better idea of what we have this year soon enough though. MSU will be hosting Troy (8-3) and Michigan(3-1) in the Cadence Bank Classic over the weekend. Both won their respective conferences last year and are supposed to be just as talented this season. We'll see how they do.
