South Carolina gets its first SEC road win of the year after defeating the Mississippi State Bulldogs 7-3 in Starksville.

The Bulldogs enter 2025 as the defending MEAC champions after a nine-win season in the first season of the Chennis Berry era.

The Bulldogs couldn’t rebound from costly mistakes and dropped the first game of their series against South Carolina 7-3. Mississippi State’s offense only produced five hits in the loss.
