STARKVILLE, Miss. – After a 10-1 loss on Saturday, the Diamond Dawgs look to avoid a clean sweep in their Southeastern Conference series opener.

Following Saturday’s loss, MSU fell to 10-9 and 0-2 in the SEC, while Vanderbilt improved to 14-5 and 2-0 in the SEC.

Vanderbilt took a 1-0 lead the first inning, but the game was dominated by pitchers for most of the game.

The score would remain the same through seven frames, but the pitcher’s dual took a 180-degree turn, and was turned into a blowout, as the Commodores scored seven runs in the eighth inning. They added two more runs in the ninth inning.

The Diamond Dawgs avoided a shutout, as Tanner Allen hit solo home run to right field in the ninth inning, but MSU fell 10-1.

Ethan Small (1-2) was charged with the loss, despite a solid 6.1 innings of work. He only gave up one run on 4 hits, while striking out eight batters.

Patrick Raby (2-2) picked up the win for Vanderbilt with five innings of work. He allowed no runs on five hits, and struck out five batters.
