STARKVILLE, Miss. - Being back at Newell-Grissom could not have been much sweeter for the Mississippi State Bulldogs (12-11, 4-5 SEC), as they returned from a rough three-match road trip to down the Tennessee Volunteers (13-8, 3-5 SEC), 3-0, on Sunday.State bounced back from a four-match losing streak in dominating fashion, blanking the Vols for the second time this year to claim the season series for the fourth time in history and first since 2013. The win also marked the first time in States 42-year history that it has swept UT in back-to-back matches.We knew this was a key match for us, especially with our rough patch here of late, and these girls answered the call, MSU coach David McFatrich said. Im especially proud of how much of a team effort this was. To look down at the stats and see that no one really stood out shows a complete effort from your team.A balanced effort across the board was indeed what carried the Bulldogs to victory on Friday, with senior Evie Grace Singleton topping the charts with 12 kills and 14.5 points. The SECs aces leader also delivered two bombs from the service line to go along with her 12 kills.Sunday began with a tight first set, as both teams looked poised to take a 1-0 lead in the match. In a frame that featured 11 ties and four lead changes, the difference would be a late 4-0 run from the Dogs, highlighted by a kill and block from freshman Emily Hill.From there, State would go on to a 25-21 first set victory, taking control of a back-and-forth match heading into the second. Tennessee started quick out the gates in the second, but a number of mini runs from the home squad put a 2-0 lead in the hands of the Maroon and White. After the Vols drew within three, McFatrich called for time, regrouped his troops and the Dogs captured six of the last eight points to secure the second set, 25-18.Tennessee once again started quick, this time pushing ahead by as much as three several times in the sets early stages. A 5-1 run put State in the lead, 13-11, but not for long. The Vols would tie the set several times as the frame hit the homestretch, but could never regain the lead. In a match plagued by errors, UT suffered when it was most crucial, as an attack popped the net to give MSU match point at 25-23. The very next point saw a crushing block from Chelsea Duhs and Jazmyne Johnson to seal the match with a 25-23 third-set win.After Singletons 12 kills came Jelena Vujcin with 12 and Hill and Johnson, who both tallied 6. States 6-2 offense was highlighted by a 18-assist day from Blossom Sato, while Riley Duzenack turned in 16.Hill and Johnson also both tallied 3 blocks to lead States blocking charge, while Cheyenne Spell paced MSU with 9 digs.As a team the Dogs saw a much different outcome on the stat sheet from their first meeting with Tennessee. State won in kills (40-31), assists (37-28) and aces (5-2), while tying in digs (29-29). Tennessee won the blocking battle by one, 7.0-6.0.Most notable is States .306 attacking percentage, marking its 11th victory this season when outhitting its opponent. MSU is also a perfect 4-0 this year when hitting above .300.We did a much better job of executing in certain areas than we did last time in Knoxville. However, there are still things we need to work on, especially with the number of service errors we had, McFatrich said. Regardless, were happy to be back in the win column and were going to build off this as we get back on the road this week.Mississippi State will get back on the road this week, heading to Arkansas (3-18, 1-8 SEC) and Missouri (18-3, 9-0 SEC).

CHICAGO -- Ricky Nolasco was pretty good Saturday night. The way the Marlins are playing, though, he needs to be nearly unhittable. Nolasco allowed one run while pitching into the eighth inning, but the Chicago White Sox scored in the bottom of the ninth after Miami tied it in the top half for a 2-1 win. "At the end of the day, we cant score any runs," Marlins pitcher Mike Redmond said. "We have to be perfect. Pitch perfect every night." Chicagos Jake Peavy (6-2) shut down the Marlins until Derek Dietrich hit a tying homer in the ninth. But Conor Gillaspie had a game-ending single off Ryan Webb (1-3). All of that added up to the Marlins fourth straight loss, 11th in 13 games, a 6-13 record in one-run contests, and sent them to a major league-worst 13-36 record. Nolasco allowed one run and eight hits and struck out six in 7 2-3 innings for Miami but couldnt earn his second consecutive win after beating Arizona on May 19. The Marlins right-hander has allowed two runs over his last two starts. Alexei Ramirez gave Chicago a 1-0 lead with an RBI double in the third. Juan Pierre mishandled the ball in the left field corner -- he wasnt charged with an error -- allowing Alejandro De Aza to score from first. Giving up that lone run disappointed Nolasco. "Everybody is frustrated. Not just me, everybody is," Nolasco said. "Nobody wants to lose." Dietrichs solo homer with one out in the ninth broke up Peavys bid at a shutout and allowed him to reach base for the 14th straight time to start his career, which is second in Marlins history behind Kevin Millars 17 games in 1999. "Peavy pitched a great ballgame," Dietrich said. "Just glad I got a pitch that I could handle and I could do something with and help the team." Peavy struck out five and allowed six hits in the complete-game effort, his longest outing of the season. Miami, which hit into three double plays Friday, had its first scoring chance in the second when Justin Ruggiano grounded into one with no outs. Marcell Ozuna and Chris Coghlan had singled, but Miami didnt score after the double play and Greg Dobbs strikeout. With the single, Ozuna extended his hitting streak to 10 games. Then in the eighth, Peavy allowed a one-out double to Dobbs and walked Adeiny Hechavarria bbut escaped the inning by getting Rob Brantly to pop out and Juan Pierre to fly out.dddddddddddd "Its frustrating," Redmond said. "I know the guys are frustrated. I know that." Peavy and the White Sox might have been frustrated momentarily in the ninth but it didnt last long. Dewayne Wise led off with a double, and scored on Gillaspies single to left, easily beating a throw from Pierre. "For us to come back and win in the (ninth) was special," Peavy said. "Thats the White Sox way. Nothings easy around here, is it?" Alex Rios went 0 for 4, snapping his 18-game hitting streak, which had been the longest in the American League this season. Gillaspie had three hits while Jeff Keppinger and Ramirez each had two for Chicago, which has won eight of 11. "Baseball is such a funny game because everybody feeds off each other," Gillaspie said. "We went through some pretty rough times the first half of the season. Its good to kind of get everybody on the same page. Everybodys excited. You can feel it in the clubhouse." Theres a different feeling for Miami, which lost the opener of the series 4-3 in 11 innings. "Obviously thats not the way we wanted to go out," Webb said. "It sucks losing two games in a row like that." NOTES: White Sox LHP Chris Sale, who was scratched from his start Wednesday, played catch off flat ground Saturday.
