After a disappointing weekend and a rescheduled midweek game, it seems that the Mississippi State baseball squad will be back at The Dude for another 4-game weekend series. The #22 Bulldogs are currently 2-2 on the year after a tough weekend series with FAU and South Dakota State. Now remember how last weekend was beautiful and no one believed that it was Opening Weekend, considering that usually Opening Weekend means the coldest temperatures of the year. Well, the cold weather is here for the weekend so be sure to bring in those blankets and long sleeve shirts. We will get into the deep details later, but go ahead and plan on being a little cold early in the weekend.
The games for Mississippi State are 4:30 PM on Friday, 11 AM and 2:30 PM on Saturday, then 3:30 PM on Sunday. Now, this is all assuming that the games will run their usual 3 hour lengths. But in true baseball form, I’m sure this schedule won’t be exact, but this is all I have so I’ll run with these times for your forecasts. It’s time for the forecast, so let’s dig right in.
