Bradford as Mississippi State’s leadoff batter on Friday against Mercer, led off the first inning with a single, stole a bag and scored a run — and the Bulldogs (13-2) went on to win their seventh straight. … Freshman Mason Robbins extended his hit streak to 11 games, but Southern Miss’ pitching let it down in a 12-5 loss at Louisiana-Lafayette. … Belhaven’s top two hitters, Anthony Doss and Bud Britt, weren’t in the lineup in the slumping Blazers’ loss to Auburn-Montgomery at Smith-Wills Stadium. … William Carey, which has won eight straight, hosts Mobile today and Sunday at Wheeler Field in Hattiesburg in a weather-delayed Southern States Athletic Conference series.
