• It was a season-long outing for Seminaris, who had 10 punch outs against the Bulldogs for his second double-digit strikeout effort to begin the season.

• Seminaris got No. 25 Long Beach state off to a great start in the series, retiring 14 hitters in a row at one point between a first-inning walk and a leadoff single in the sixth – Mississippi State’s only hit that evening.

• Seminaris ended his commanding outing by striking out the side in the eighth.

• He also threw an inning of scoreless relief with one strikeout in Tuesday’s 10-3 victory over San Diego.
