Twelve Chinese baseball and softball coaches took part in a five-week program to learn coaching skills from baseball hall of famer Cal Ripken Jr., who has been named as a special sports envoy of the U.S. State Department, and other Major League Baseball players.

It’s Rivalry Week For Mississippi State Softball And Ole Miss

Mississippi State softball is set to return to action today. The Bulldogs are on the road up in Oxford for a rivalry series with the Ole Miss Rebels. Mississippi State hasn’t been doing so well in SEC play, but neither has Ole Miss. MSU is 4-8 against foes from the Southeastern Conference. Ole Miss is 4-11.

Both teams are looking to use this series as a jumping point for the rest of their season. Mississippi State needs wins to remain competitive in the SEC standings. Ole Miss needs wins to try and make the SEC softball tournament.

Live Stats- Ole Miss

Mississippi State softball needs wins in the SEC. It’s incredibly difficult to win in this conference and there will only be more difficult games up ahead for Vann Stuedeman and her team. Winning and taking this series should be doable for Mississippi State.

The Bulldogs are the better team statistically throughout the year and also in SEC play alone. But that margin is much closer than it probably should be. Mississippi State will need to play closer to the ceiling of its potential this weekend to get back on track and move ahead in SEC softball standings.

Mississippi State needs to claim another SEC series for itself. The Bulldogs took one from Mizzou but then faltered against Georgia and Texas A&M. Between those two series, MSU was swept by Arkansas. Winning this weekend would be huge for State.
