Dakota Jordan crushes walk-off HR, Mississippi State wins 5-2 vs. St. John's
Dakota Jordan is relentless. On Friday, the Mississippi State sophomore smacked a three-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Bulldogs a 5-2 win over St. John’s.
Jordan was 0-4 from the plate against the Red Storm before the final at-bat of the game. Further, Jordan only had one hit in his previous 26 at-bats before the walk-off moonshot. The home run is Mississippi State’s fifth walk-off hit this season.
Evidently, St. John’s was aware of Jordan’s recent struggles. The Red Storm intentionally walked David Mershon to bring Jordan to the plate. After the game, Jordan said St. John’s decision only motivated him further, per Jon Sokoloff.

The victory is an excellent start for Mississippi State in the Charlottesville Regional. Before Friday, the team last played in their 6-5 loss to Tennessee in the SEC Tournament on May 24.
Mississippi State is hungry for more than one win. The program has not won a regional since 2021; the same year they won the national championship.
