Mississippi State designated hitter Elijah MacNamee strokes an RBI triple into right-center during the fourth inning. (Kelly Price/ Mississippi State) By Logan Lowery Daily Journal STARKVILLE – Mississippi State coach Andy Cannizaro knew his team needed to take advantage of the baserunners it would have facing Auburn’s ace Keegan Thompson. The 10th-ranked Diamond Dogs did just that scoring five runs against Thompson and chased him in the seventh inning to win Friday’s contest, 5-2. “You’re not going to beat up a guy like Keegan Thompson,” Cannizaro said.
