LAFAYETTE, Louisiana – He threw a complete game for the ninth time this season. He allowed just three runs off seven hits to Southeastern Conference power Mississippi State. He earned the heartfelt respect of Bulldogs coach John Cohen.About the only thing Jackson State starting pitcher/utilityman Desmond Russell didn’t do Saturday night at the NCAA Lafayette Regional was win.
But after Mississippi State won the winner’s-bracket game 3-1 behind the combined three-hit pitching of Jonathan Holder and Ben Bracewell, even Cohen was thinking maybe Russell should have.
“He deserved to win a ballgame,” Cohen said of the senior righty. “He was just outstanding. We just got some timely hits, and they didn’t.”
