State Takes Midweek Victory Over UAB
April 08, 2025 | Baseball
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Mississippi State grabbed its seventh-consecutive midweek win on Tuesday night with an 8-3 victory over UAB at Young Memorial Field.
Noah Sullivan had a big night for the Bulldog offense, going 2-for-4 at the plate with three RBIs, a double and a home run. Gehrig Frei had a pair of hits of his own, including a double and an RBI.
Ryan McPherson got the win on the mound for State, improving his record to 3-0 after pitching four frames. He struck out five batters, and allowed only one hit and two walks. The Bulldog pitching staff struck out a total of 12 Blazers over nine innings. Nate Williams had four of those in two scoreless innings of work while Luke Dotson had two punchouts in a perfect ninth to close things out.
