WATCH: Mississippi State eliminates FSU with walk-off 3-run homer in bottom of 9th inning
Saturday was a long day for the Mississippi State Bulldogs, as they got off to a slow start offensively and also had to wait out a long rain delay.
However, it was all worth it in the bottom of the ninth inning, as Elijah MacNamee stepped to the plate with two runners on and two outs. Make an out and the Bulldogs’ season would be over.
As you can see below, he instead launched a game-winning three-run home run, celebrating excitedly as the Bulldogs eliminated Florida State:

The Bulldogs will now play the winner of the Oklahoma-Samford game, which will be played later on Saturday night.
Mississippi State is riding high after that big win, but now the Bulldogs need to refocus so they can keep their season going.
GTHOM! #HAILSTATE
You have an amazing walk off hit and eliminate a national seed and all you can think about is Ole Miss? Weird. Good win though.
I hate the he claims State as his school, it’s an embarrassment
It’s Bulldawgrock’s 4th account. The original Bulldawgrock account got shut down by admin, then he returned as olemiss4ever, now it’s #hailstate. He tries to hide but the stench of retardation gives him away every time. Note the constant mentioning of Ole Miss at every opportunity, the constant grammatical errors, and insults that are completely off the wall like “Delumptard”… whatever the hell that is. Look out for him telling us his shoe size and IQ as well, because these are things he needs us to believe.
The Ole Miss part was unnecessary. This article literally has nothing to do with them.
He will relish that forever.
That was awesome. That’s what kids dream of growing up, 2 outs, bottom of the 9th with a chance to win it with a HR incredible.
Even sweeter to watch as a Gator fan as it eliminated FSU.
Now that was dramatic! Congrats to the Bulldogs for a great win!!!
Damn, it literally came down to the last pitch of the game. Bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, 2 strikes. It pains me to say this but I gotta give credit where credit is due. Well done, State.
Not just last pitch of the game, but last lurch of their season. As much as I was happy for the win, I feel bad for FSU. Have no love for them as a school but that is a heartbreaking way to exit the tournament and end your season.
Lurch? What, phone can’t correct that one?
Lurch still kinda works.
