It was a good Friday Night for the Diamond Hogs.
They opened their series against Mississippi State with a 6-2 victory, improving to 10-1 against the Bulldogs since 2019. Dave Van Horn got a complete game from his squad, with thirteen strikeouts and two home runs.
Hagen Smith, Cody Adcock, and Gage Wood combined for 13 strikeouts in the two-hitter, the first of its kind under Van Horn.
Jace Bohrofen and Brady Slevins contributed the two home runs. Bohrofen’s two-run bomb came in the first inning, bringing home Kendall Diggs to build an early 2-0 lead. The Bulldogs attempted to make a comeback, but Slevins put the Hogs ahead once more with a two-run bomb of his own in the top of the sixth.
