The college baseball world received a shock on Tuesday night when previously 0-9 Texas Southern came into Starkville, MS and beat the No. 10 Mississippi State Bulldogs.
The Tigers (1-9) put up 8 runs on the Dawgs at Dudy-Noble Field on Tuesday, to come away victorious in a David vs. Goliath type matchup.
Though Mississippi State still controls its destiny to Omaha, fans of both the Bulldogs and other rivals were quick to call out the team’s misfortune.
Let’s take a look at some of the best reactions from last night:

Surely I'm reading that wrong or the numbers are transposed?!? We lost to a 9-0 right? Not an 0-9 team?

Probably a good idea to never do “Stranger Things” night again.

Mississippi State lost a midweek game to Texas Southern tonight, which was previously winless in 2020.

Another fun fact about Texas Southern: Here’s how it opened last baseball season… (It ended up being outscored 98-19 thanks to Game 4 being only seven innings.) https://t.co/RmqmM81S6F
TEXAS SOUTHERN TIGERS -8

MSU has now lost back to back baseball games! 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Just stating facts
Uhhh Mississippi state, were you guys drunk or something tonight. I know you guys are a lot better than Texas Southern…Then again Arkansas lost to Little Rock last year so bad losses are normal.

I thought you were talking about state when you said “the best team in college baseball” then i looked at the score, and realized i was wrong. Who were you talking about?
— Will Carter (@tucansam551) February 26, 2020
Texas Southern seemed unfazed by “the greatest atmosphere in college baseball.”

Texas Southern entered the game 0-9. Baseball is weird. https://t.co/gTIObEM0yt
