After a 45-minute long weather delay, the Tigers finish their season with a 4-3 win against No. 16 Mississippi State with the help of a two-run homer from Jackson Lovich.
The Missouri Tigers future was already set coming into the game — they would not be going to the SEC Tournament and Saturday would be their last game of their season. There was nothing they could do about that, but they could try to at least end their season on a good note with a strong game against a highly-ranked opponent. They were risking ending the season on a five-game losing streak.
Things really started going wrong in the second inning. It began when Missouri's starter, graduate Ryan Magdic walked two to load the bases with no outs. The Tigers finally got one out, but it wasn't without a run scoring first on a fielder's choice. Magdic then stunned a batter to get the second out of the inning. Before he could get out of the inning with another strikeout, Magdic allowed another run to score on a double to left.
The Tigers used the pitching change to their advantage. They drove the second Bulldogs' pitcher, freshman Luke Dotson, out of the game with no outs and two runs pushed across. Missouri used two errors from the Mississippi State team, their first two of the series, to get their first run across in freshman catcher Mateo Serna on a fielder's choice. Another hit-by-pitch and a single to left from freshman shortstop Drew Culbertson made it a tie game in the fourth inning.
