If you're the #3 college baseball team in the country and have a trip to Starkville in the near future, be afraid. Two weeks after taking the series against then #3 Ole Miss, Mississippi State swept current #3 Arkansas on Super Bulldog Weekend 2018.
The week started off on a sour note as the Bulldogs traveled to Memphis and lost 6-1 to the Tigers at Autozone Park. The gray pins were the only positive of the game for the Bulldogs, aside from the fact that it wasn't an SEC game and therefore wouldn't hurt State's attempt to make the SEC Tournament. Now, knowing how the weekend went, the Memphis loss (along with the rubber matches with Missouri and Auburn that were both lost in large part due to bullpen mismanagement) stings a little bit more.
SBW 2018 kicked off on Friday Night as the Bulldogs' came back from an early 5-0 deficit to win 6-5 in the Maroon 85s. Due to forecasted thunderstorms on Sunday, the series concluded with a doubleheader Saturday afternoon. Wearing the White "State" Pins for the first time in exactly a month, State clinched the series with a 5-3 win.
For the second game of the doubleheader, the Bulldogs switched into the all black uniforms. It would've been more tolerable if they'd have only changed jerseys; haven't seen black over white pins yet this season. Of course, I would've gone with Maroon 85 over white pins, or even White 85s if we're willing to change pants in-between games. But hey, whatever works I guess. After getting down again early, State stormed back for a 7-5 series sweeping win, the second straight sweep of Arkansas in Starkville.
With the series win over then #3 Ole Miss and sweep of current #3 Arkansas, the Maroon 85 over White and Black 85 over Black looks are each 2-0 against teams ranked #3. And the White "State" Pins are 1-0. Not bad.
