Mississippi State baseball gearing up to compete in 2024 Hancock Whitney Classic

Games two and three of the Hancock Whitney Classic are set to take place this week on March 12th and 13th. Both games will feature the Mississippi State Bulldogs who are riding a 9-game winning streak heading into their coast games.
