STARKVILLE — Mississippi State baseball has adjusted its starting pitching rotation for the Tennessee series at Dudy Noble Field.
Tomas Valincius, who's 6-1 and second in the SEC with a 1.15 ERA, will start Game 1 instead of Game 2. Duke Stone (5-0, 3.75 ERA) will follow him starting Game 2, with Charlie Foster (0-1, 5.21 ERA) starting the series finale.
No. 8 MSU (26-7, 7-5 SEC) remains without Ryan McPherson, who'll miss his third straight weekend start after suffering a mild forearm strain.
Game 1 against the Volunteers (21-12, 4-8) is April 10 (6 p.m. SEC Network+), Game 2 is April 11 (6 p.m.., SEC Network+) and Game 3 is April 12 (1 p.m., SEC Network+).
Last weekend's series against Georgia was a Thursday-Saturday series with Foster starting the first game, followed by Valincius then Stone. The tweaked rotation means Valincius and Stone both get exactly one week in between starts.
Foster has started three consecutive weeks in place of McPherson, who was Mississippi State's Game 1 starter before his injury.
The Volunteers will counter with Landon Mack (3-2, 3.48 ERA) for Game 1, Tegan Kuhns (1-3, 3.89 ERA) for Game 2 and Evan Blanco (2-2, 3.83 ERA) for Game 3.
