Mississippi State's baseball team turned a quiet start into a rout on May 14, exploding for 13 runs in the third inning at Texas A&M's Olsen Field in College Station.
A Third-Inning Explosion
The Bulldogs trailed 2-0 before unleashing a barrage that featured 12 hits and five RBIs from Jacob Parker, who capped the onslaught with a three-run homer.
Noah Sullivan, Kevin Milewski, Vytas Valincius, Ace Reese and Gehrig Frei also contributed runs, while the Aggies cycled through four pitchers in an attempt to stem the tide.
College baseball's run-rule would have ended the game after seven innings had the lead reached double digits, but officials allowed play to continue despite the lopsided score.
The performance comes just days after Mississippi State was shut out 13-2 by Auburn, a loss that added pressure on the coaching staff and raised questions about the team's consistency.
Mississippi State University, a member of the Southeastern Conference, will look to carry the momentum into the remainder of the season, while Texas A&M hopes to regroup after a night that saw their pitchers overwhelmed.
