Mississippi State pitcher Tomas Valincius works during an earlier game this season.
MSU Athletics
The Mississippi State left-handed pitcher went to Arkansas and delivered the Diamond Dawgs’ best outing of the weekend in a 7-2 victory over the No. 5 Razorbacks. His work salvaged a game in the series and also earned him Southeastern Conference Co-Pitcher of the Week honors.
Valincius came out against the Razorbacks and was comfortable all game long. The transfer from Virginia reached season highs with seven innings and seven strikeouts and a season-low two hits surrendered in the win. Valincius allowed four base runners total, but never had an inning with two or more base runners on the bags.
