Who’s hot? Mississippi State scored 13 runs in the first inning of Sunday’s win over Lamar. Nothing unlucky about that 13. Maybe John Cohen finally has the Bulldogs’ house in order. Nick Vickerson has been a spark at the top the order. He scored four of the 17 runs Sunday and is hitting .353 with eight runs in unbeaten State’s four games. Jarrod Parks is hitting a whopping .533 with six RBIs. … Hinds Community College is off to a 6-0 start; the Eagles scored 28 runs in just 10 innings in a doubleheader, run-rule sweep of Mississippi Delta on Saturday. … Belhaven’s Drew Dillard is hitting .438 with 13 RBIs in nine games for the 7-2 Blazers. … Millsaps’ Will Hawkins has 13 RBIs, two homers and a .455 average for the 7-1 Majors.
Who’s not? Mississippi College’s Daniel Cowart, counted on as a stalwart arm this spring, is 0-3 for the 2-3 Choctaws after giving up a walk-off grand slam at Rhodes on Sunday. … And then there’s Jackson State. Details remain sketchy about the fight that forced the cancellation of the Tigers’ own tournament over the weekend. Whatever happened, that’s utterly embarrassing for the school and a fiasco for what is expected to be a good team.
