Happy Mother's Day everybody
from beautiful Oxford University Stadium Swayze Field.
And finally, some beautiful weather, or at least no rain.
That's what we've had the last couple of days
here in Oxford.
Number six Mississippi State going for the sweep
of rival number 14 Ole Miss.
With four SEC regular season games to go,
a win for Mississippi State pulls them within a game
of West leader Arkansas.
Ole Miss in third, needing a win
to keep their hosting chances alive.
Ole Miss is gonna send Gunner Hoglund to the mound.
1-1 on the year, the freshman right hander
has a ton of potential.
And he has been the number three starter all year.
In the big six run seventh last night,
he's gonna pop this one above the infield.
The first baseman, Kevin Graham, makes the catch,
and how about that tidy seven pitch inning for Hoglund.
Servideo to lead it off for Ole Miss.
Breaking ball, torched to right center.
Diving and not being able to come up with it is MacNamee.
Around third is Keenan, he's gonna try to score and will,
but throw to third, not in time.
Governor's Cup, four years in a row.
Yeah, we talked about Jake Mangum
in the open, but Elijah MacNamee, as he rips one
in the right field corner.
The senior right fielder from Mississippi State
and Mangum, they just, they hadn't lost much to the Rebs.
Been moved to third base in recent weeks.
This gets to the backstop, big Cameron Johnson,
the play at the plate.
Oh, wow. They got him.
Hoglund got the tag down to get Foscue.
And Mike Bianco, getting guys out to that bullpen.
Swinging at the first pitch here is Jordan Westburg,
gonna be a tough play for Adams.
He will get the out at first.
Gilbert scores and we're tied at one.
Plumlee's 0-1.
This one is tanked to center.
Mangum running back, ball dying out there,
and he makes the catch on the warning track.
Tagging from third is Servideo.
But now Skelton and Halter aboard with hard hit balls.
And another one back up the middle.
That's gonna bleed through into center.
Gilbert driving in a run, he's on his way to second,
he's in there.
And a new pitcher for Ole Miss, Zack Phillips coming on.
In relief of Gunner Hoglund, the starter.
Yeah, Phillips has been a starter.
They've used him out of the bullpen,
so they're gonna go to him here in the middle innings
to try to lengthen this ballgame out,
and eventually get in to the backend of the bullpen.
But Phillips, kind of an up and down year.
We've soon some good outings.
Down and in, walks in a run.
And Tanner Allen coming up.
Mississippi State goes in front for the first time today.
It's 3-2!
Couldn't find anybody to get the job done.
3-2 down, walked him.
Back to back walks.
Mississippi State now leads it four to two.
Here's Max Cioffi, 6'4", 220 pound sophomore
out of Chicago.
Cioffi has been very, very good
in conference play.
Just has a one ERA in nine innings pitched in SEC games.
Base hit, left field.
One runner's in, two runs will score
and it's 6-2.
This is a base hit down the line.
Coming in to score is Allen.
Holding up at third is Hancock.
It's an RBI double for Foscue.
Cioffi, gets another one barreled up.
It skips past Graham into right field.
Two more runs are gonna score.
Sliding into second is Jordan, and it's 9-2.
I'd be shocked if we don't see an answer
from the Rebels.
That's another base hit.
Jordan being waved around.
Here comes the throw from Dillard, not in time.
And it's 10-2.
To short, Westburg, low throw, it's in the dirt.
Gets past Allen.
Graham scores and onto second is Servideo.
But he has been fantastic this season.
A big, over the top breaking ball.
And the seniors, gotta believe
that's gonna be well attended.
Check swing, did he go?
You bet, he did.
Pitcher number five for the Rebels.
Houston Roth now.
The junior from right here in town.
6'3", 220 pounds, and he has been used primarily
out of the bullpen since mid March.
Yeah, Roth, one of those arms,
they were planning on leaning on this season.
Outside of those two.
Line drive, coming on, the center fielder.
Nice strike! Did he make the catch?
Yes, they have a chance to double them up,
but they won't get there in time.
Servideo diving to make that play in center.
Jacob Adams at the plate for Ole Miss.
They've got two on, two out.
Down seven here in the eighth.
First pitch swinging, in to center field for Adams.
Being waved around is Johnson,
he will score and it's 10-4.
This should end the inning.
No it won't.
Throw to home, not in time.
Fitzsimmons scores from second base,
and it's 10-5.
Now Green, his job is to keep it where it is,
a five run deficit.
Again, the two two.
Line drive, you bet.
And an RBI to boot.
Gilbert runs in.
It's 11-5.
Great offense from Mississippi State all weekend,
especially today.
17 hits, five doubles.
They win it 11-5.
