Due to expected storms moving through the Starkville area over the weekend, Mississippi State and Lipscomb have agreed to adjust the start of their three-game baseball series. The first game will now be played on Friday at 6 p.m., with the status of the next two games still uncertain due to the weather forecast.

Why it matters

The 11-2 Mississippi State Bulldogs, ranked #4 in the country, are looking to bounce back after tough losses to top 10 opponents UCLA and Southern Miss. Adjusting the schedule to get the first game in before the storms hit will give the Bulldogs a better chance to reset and get back on the winning track.

The details

Mississippi State announced the schedule change after consulting with Lipscomb. The Friday 6 p.m. game one ticket will be valid, but the status of the Saturday and Sunday games is still up in the air due to the uncertain weather. The Bulldogs are coming off a heartbreaking 8-7 extra-inning loss to #1 UCLA and a 7-6 defeat against #10 Southern Miss, while Lipscomb enters the series 6-5 on the year.

• The first game of the series will be played on Friday, March 7, 2026 at 6 p.m.

What’s next

The status of the Saturday and Sunday games in the series is still to be determined based on the weather forecast for the Starkville area over the weekend.
