Mississippi State baseball is set to face Georgia in the Athens Super Regional, scheduled for June 5 or 6. The Bulldogs, ranked No. 14, enter with a record of 43-17, while No. 3 Georgia is 49-12. Mississippi State aims for its first appearance at the College World Series since winning the national championship in 2021.
