Mississippi State evens the series with an 8-5 win over the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Bulldogs got off to a hot start and eventually led the Razorbacks 8-0 going into the bottom of the fourth.
However, everything started to fall apart for starter Jurrangelo Cijntje in the fourth inning. The Florida native worked around trouble in the second and the third. Still, a throwing error by second baseman Ethan Pulliam led to Arkansas getting their first, and a sacrifice fly would put up the second run.
The Hogs were not done there as Pulliam failed to turn a double lead in the fifth, ultimately leading to a two-run home run for Peyton Stovall. A once 8-0 lead had been cut in half, and all of the momentum was with the home team as they chased Cijntje after only 4.1 innings.
Cam Schuelke finished out the fifth without giving up any damage. Brooks Auger, who had been the Sunday starter for State the past three weekends but was roughed up last week by Alabama in only two innings of work, took the mound in the sixth, looking to hold the lead.
The Louisiana native did not get off to a good start as he issued a leadoff walk and a one-out single, putting runners on the corners with only one down. Arkansas got a sacrifice fly to cut the State lead to three runs.
However, after that, the senior right-hander pitched extremely toughly for the Bulldogs. He was not lights out, but he weathered the Razorback rally, and State has struggled to close out games on the road despite big leads leading to losses at Ole Miss and Florida.
However, the former Hinds Community College Eagle would not let that happen, including getting his third and fourth strikeout to strand a pair of Razorback runners in the eighth. Tyler Davis would take over on the bump for State in the ninth innings and only allowed a two-out single before getting a strikeout looking to end it.
Despite taking the life out of Baum-Walker Stadium early, by the sixth inning, all of the momentum was with the Razorbacks. Auger did an outstanding job of handling the environment and giving big innings for his team.
The Bulldogs needed one win coming into the weekend to feel safe about their hosting opportunity; with that under the belt, they will go for their series win over the Razorbacks since 2018 tomorrow at 2 p.m. CT.

Institute for Disability Studies, Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services Partner to Hold Multiple Job Extravaganzas, Future Career Exploration Events – WXXV News 25
Fri, 05/10/2024 – 10:35am | By: Rebecca Holland
The Institute for Disability Studies (IDS), at The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) and The Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services have extended a partnership to continue providing the successful Job Extravaganza program for the next year with renewal option up to five years.
The Job Extravaganza program is a specialized opportunity for students with disabilities, ages 14-21, to participate in a hands-on job experience, provided by local businesses in the area. Job Extravaganza is a fun-filled and educational experience with the primary purpose of providing an inclusive business learning experience.
The goal of the Job Extravaganza is to provide an environment where students can explore a variety of careers freely at their own pace, which can lead them to discover what career options best fit their preferences, strengths, and interests.
Each Job Extravaganza event begins with a virtual pre-session for student attendees to review the in-person day agenda and discuss rules, student roles, business experience opportunities, and overall expectations. The in-person event consists of businesses from the local areas that provide job skill stations. Students can visit these stations, learn various employment tasks, and receive valuable feedback.
In addition to the students visiting all job stations, they are provided lunch, have time to network, and receive direct pre-employment training. Within two weeks after the in-person event, students participate in a virtual post-session to review event activities, discuss the businesses and skill opportunities, and plan for next learning steps.
“Since November 2022, the Institute for Disability Studies has piloted three Job Extravaganza events in Long Beach, Pearl, and Bay St. Louis, for over 180 secondary students with disabilities,” noted Dr. Jerry Alliston, IDS Associate Director. “Our transition team is excited for this multi-year initiative as we have already seen the impact on students in learning new skills, exploring potential employment options, and even obtaining actual jobs.”
The Job Extravaganza is a service provided by IDS at The University of Southern Mississippi, Mississippi’s University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, and is funded by The Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services as part of a partnership between the two entities.
