Mississippi State Bulldogs Open with Comeback Victory against No. 11 LSU Tigers

Junior Caroline Seitz drove in four runs, and the Mississippi State Bulldogs came from behind to knock off the No. 11 LSU Tigers 7-2 Friday in Starkville to open their Super Bulldog Weekend Series.

The Tigers (30-13, 5-11) scored two runs in the top of the first to take a quick lead over the Bulldogs. A first inning triple put the first Tiger run in scoring position, and the second run eventually scored on an RBI by sacrifice fly by Kellsi Kloss.

The Bulldogs (23-18, 3-10) got one back in the bottom of the first thanks to Kayla Winkfield's lead off triple and a sacrifice fly by Katie Anne Bailey.

The Bulldogs tied the game in the bottom of the second when Sabrina Turner drew a no outs, bases loaded walk. Winkfield put the Bulldogs ahead with a ground out RBI, and Seitz drove in two runs on a single that gave the Bulldogs a 5-2 lead at the end of the inning.

"We came out with good energy today and were able to have quality team at bats," head coach Vann Stuedeman said. "It was a great game played by both sides and what a fun way to start off Super Bulldog Weekend."

Alexis Silkwood (3-5) picked up the complete game victory, striking out six while allowing four hits.

Carly Hoover (11-6) took the loss after giving up all seven runs in three innings of work.
