OXFORD - Mississippi stands two weeks away from making baseball history.
Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Southern Miss all appear set to host a regional in the same year for the first time since the NCAA went to the current playoff format in 1999. There’s no room to question how good college baseball in the state is entering the regular season’s final weekend.
“I don’t look at RPIs and things of that nature during the season, but I think it’s hard not to notice the fact that you have three Division I schools in a very small state at least in terms of population as compared to the states that surround us,” MSU coach John Cohen said.
