Mississippi State completed the sweep with an eight-inning win Sunday. Jordan started the scoring with his fourth home run in as many games. Connor Hujsak followed him up shortly after in the first inning with a three-run shot to stretch MSU's lead early. Jurrangelo Cijntje ran into some trouble in the fourth, but the three-run frame was his lone blemish in a six-inning outing.
