The Bulldogs Have Pitchers With Potential To Keep Up With South Carolina In The Circle

Mississippi State and South Carolina both feature pretty good pitchers this year. The Mississippi State softball team will need theirs to step up this weekend so that MSU can hopefully come away with at least two wins.

MSU’s pitchers, this season, hold a 1.72 ERA. The Bulldogs have struck out an impressive 361 batters this year. If MSU can get solid pitching this weekend to compliment any sort of improved hitting, then the Mississippi State Bulldogs will certainly have a solid chance.

But, unfortunately, there’s a few ifs there. We’ll need to see MSU prove itself some this weekend. The Bulldogs have the talent, but it’ll need to execute.
