Virginia jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the second inning, but Mississippi State managed to wrestle the game back in the fourth and go up 4-2. The Cavaliers closed the gap and tied the game at four heading into the ninth inning where they were able to close the game out, 5-4, on a fielder's choice.
