A two-run seventh inning gave Mississippi State the edge in a 3-2 win against Texas Tech, earning the Bulldogs (12-4) a two-game week of their midweek series Wednesday. 

Tied 1-1 in the bottom of the seventh, Josh Hatcher’s and Luke Hancock’s RBI doubles gave the Bulldogs a 3-1 lead, and despite Texas Tech scoring a run in the top of the eighth, Mississippi State held on for the win.

Hatcher and Jordan Rowdey both went 2-for-4, and Rowdey also doubled for the Bulldogs.

Riley Self got the win on the mound, pitching two scoreless innings in relief and striking out two. Spencer Price tossed a scoreless ninth inning for the save, and Mississippi State starter Carlisle Koestler went five innings, giving up one run on four hits and two walks while striking out three.

Mississippi State begins a three-game series at home against Arkansas on Friday.
