Did You Know?
Did you know.....In the last three games vs Mississippi State the Lions have successfully executed a steal of home twice. In Wednesday night's 5-1 win over the Bulldogs, Brock Hebert stole home as Mississippi State attempted to appeal Hebert leaving second base early on a bases loaded sac fly. During the 2010 season Trey Martin scored the winning run in the Lions 6-5 series sweeping victory in Starkville with a straight steal of home.
Solid Gold Sweep!
Wearing their all gold uniforms, it didn't take the SLU Lions long to let #21 Mississippi State know they were coming out looking for the series sweep. Harry Slade set the tone as he hit the first pitch he saw into left center for a double. Slade's hit led to two runs for Lions in the home half of the first and they never looked back, beating the Bulldogs 5-1 to sweep the two game mid-week series.
