Mississippi State had a successful week again. In midweek action, the Bulldogs faced Grambling and well just absolutely dominated with the final score of 18-1. MSU traveled down to Gainsville for their first SEC series of the year to face the Florida Gators. Friday

was a tight one that went in the favor of the Bulldogs 6-5. Saturday would bring in a doubleheader. In the first game, State doubled up the Gators 10-5, clinching their first series win. State would go for the sweep in game three of the weekend, but would ultimately come up short losing 2-4. In all, six Bulldog players recorded multi-hit games in a series opener. That list includes Tanner Allen, Jake Mangum, Elijah MacNamee, Dustin Skelton, Justin Foscue, and Josh Hatcher.

The ceremonial first pitch of Saturday’s game was tossed out by non-other than NFL Hopeful and (now) former Ole Miss Wide Receiver, A.J. Brown. Brown was a 19th round draft pick by the San Diego Padres in 2016.

Memphis would suffer yet another loss, this time to the Salt Lake Stallions by an ending score of 22-9. Unfortunately, starting quarterback Zach Mettenberger suffered an ankle injury on the first play of scrimmage as was replaced by Brandon Silvers. Silvers didn’t have a horrible game as he was 23 for 37 passing with a touchdown. But Express faithful, don’t give up hope. Former Heisman Trophy winner and somewhat troublesome quarterback Johnny Manziel has started practicing with the Express and could possibly see action in his first game for Memphis this weekend as the Birmingham Iron will be coming to Liberty Bowl Stadium.
