Box Score

STARKVILLE - No. 15 Mississippi State finished off a Super Bulldog Weekend sweep that was 41 years in the making Sunday afternoon.

Ace Reese drove in four runs, Noah Sullivan added three hits and the Diamond Dawgs erased multiple deficits to beat LSU 13-8 at Dudy Noble Field, completing State's first sweep of the Tigers since 1985.

Mississippi State (34-10, 13-8 SEC) trailed 3-0 after the first inning, 5-3 after the third and 8-5 in the sixth before scoring the game's final eight runs. MSU piled up 12 hits, drew seven walks and took advantage of three LSU errors to close out one of its most memorable weekends of the season.

The Bulldogs tied it in the second when Reese launched a three-run homer to right field after Aidan Teel walked and Bryce Chance singled. It was Reese's 15th home run of the season and set the tone for a day in which Mississippi State refused to let LSU control the game.

LSU (24-21, 6-15) answered with Steven Milam's two-run homer in the third, but State came back again in the fifth. Reese walked to start the inning, Sullivan doubled down the third-base line to score him and Jacob Parker's groundout brought home Sullivan to tie the game at 5.

The Tigers surged back in front in the sixth on Mason Braun's RBI triple and Omar Serna Jr.'s two-run homer. But the lead didn't last.

Mississippi State erupted for four runs in the bottom half of the inning. Kevin Milewski walked, Chance singled and Gehrig Frei reached on a throwing error that allowed both runners to score. Reese followed with an RBI double to right center, and Blake Bevis later drove in another run on a fielder's choice to put the Diamond Dawgs ahead 9-8.

State never gave it back.

Sullivan doubled again in the seventh to score Frei, and Bevis followed with an RBI single to stretch the lead to 11-8. Teel opened the eighth with a solo homer to right center, and Frei doubled in Milewski later in the inning to give MSU a five-run cushion.

Reese finished 2-for-5 with a double, a homer, three runs scored and four RBIs. Sullivan went 3-for-6 with two doubles, two RBIs and two runs. Parker added two doubles, while Chance had two hits and scored twice.

LSU struck first when Cade Arrambide hit a three-run homer in the opening inning off Charlie Foster. The Tigers finished with three home runs, but the Bulldogs' bullpen held them scoreless over the final three innings.

Peyton Fowler (1-0) earned the win after recording the final out of the sixth. Ben Davis followed with two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out two, before Maddox Webb worked a scoreless ninth to finish it.

Deven Sheerin (3-1) took the loss for LSU after facing three batters in the sixth and allowing three runs, two earned, without recording an out.

MSU heads down to Trustmark Park in Pearl for the annual Governor's Cup game against rival Ole Miss on Tuesday. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. on SEC Network+.
