Defensively, the Tigers only committed one error.  This is just the second time this season that Mississippi State has been held to two runs or less.  “Our goal each game is to play error free ball”, said Head coach James Cooper.  “We tell the guys about timely hitting, and playing solid defense.  We just came up a little bit short tonight.”
