Mississippi State eliminated Florida State from the NCAA Tournament on Saturday with a thrilling walk-off home run in Tallahassee.
The two teams lost their first games on Friday in the double-elimination tournament, meaning the loser of the game would go home. The Seminoles appeared to be on their way to advancing as pitcher Drew Parrish had two outs and a 1-2 count on Elijah MacNamee with two on. But MacNamee drilled a changeup to left field for a walk-off 3-run home run to end the game.

What a thrilling finish.
Florida State was the No. 7 overall seed in the tourney, so to see them go two-and-out is the biggest surprise of the postseason so far.
FSU will face plenty of questions for having Parrish come back out to pitch the ninth following a 2.5 hour rain delay.
