Live Updates: Mississippi State Baseball Takes On Ole Miss in Governor's Cup

Mississippi State baseball looks to pick up a midweek victory against SEC-foe Ole Miss in the Governor's Cup.

Mississippi State baseball (24-17, 8-10) defeated Ole Miss (22-17, 6-12) on Friday and Saturday to claim its sixth-straight SEC series victory over the Rebels this weekend.

The two in-state rivals will face off again in the Governor's Cup on Tuesday night at Trustmark Park in Pearl. The game will not count as an SEC matchup, but it will still feature heavy competition and a potential RPI boost for the winning team.
