The Mississippi State Bulldogs started SEC play with a win over Florida on Friday, and on Saturday, the Bulldogs and Gators are having a doubleheader in Gainesville.
The game got off to a great start for the Bulldogs, as leadoff hitter Jake Mangum smacked a home run in the first at-bat of the game.
As you can see below, he celebrated his homer with a gigantic bat flip — one that is sure to make the Gators angry:

Mangum will have to watch out for the inside fastball in his next plate appearance, but he’s understandably amped up after getting the game off to a great start.
The Bulldogs are 17-1 on the season and look to be one of the best teams in the SEC. With Mangum playing well, this is a scary squad.
