Better Know A CWS Team: The Mississippi State Fightin’ 11.7s
Photo by John Korduner/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesThe School: Mississippi State University.
Location: Starkville, Mississippi. There might be worse places to go to college, but I can’t think of any.
Mascot: Bully the Bulldog, though technically it’s really this guy.
Record: 45-16, 20-10 in the SEC.
How’d they get here? Beat Samford, VCU, and Campbell (in that order) to take the Starkville Regional, then took two of three in the supers against Notre Dame in spite of getting outscored 24-21 by the Irish. In other words, they haven’t been super impressive in getting here.
