For the third year in a row, the Mississippi State baseball team is heading to a Super Regional
At one point this year, the Mississippi State baseball team looked like it’d be left for dead. The Bulldogs were limping through the first half of the season and appeared like they wouldn’t make it into the Southeastern Conference Tournament. There was nothing to show that the Bulldogs would even make it to the NCAA Tournament.
Earlier this year, about halfway through the baseball season, the Mississippi State baseball team was 14-15 and 2-7 against other SEC teams. After two years of making it to Super Regionals, it looked like Mississippi State’s postseason streak would die off in the most pitiful way possible.
However, MSU is here. The Bulldogs will battle the Vanderbilt Commodores. This year isn’t done yet and Mississippi State made it into a Super Regional in one of the most unbelievable ways possible.
This year, the Mississippi State Bulldogs fell behind in the Tallahassee Regional. They lost their opening game against Oklahoma, sending them into the loser’s bracket and putting them in a bind. But, much like last season, Mississippi State found a way.
In the 2017 season, the Mississippi State baseball team lost the first game of the Hattiesburg Regional. The Bulldogs then won four straight games to go on and end the season for Southern Miss and head on to the Baton Rouge Super Regional.
In 2016, Mississippi State baseball hosted a regional. The Bulldogs then won the Starkville Regional and hosted the Arizona Wildcats for the Super Regional. Arizona, however, made it past MSU.

And now, MSU will play against Vanderbilt in a Super Regional. The location of the series hasn’t been decided, but it will be soon. Mississippi State might even host the Super Regional this year. But even if the Bulldogs don’t get to play it at home, they’ve still made it into a Super Regional. They did it in a year when nobody expected success from the Bulldogs.
