Mumps outbreak at PRCC: six baseball players diagnosed with mumps

Shaking hands after a baseball game is always considered good sportsmanship, but the team at Pearl River Community College has been instructed not to do that in the coming days.
First reported by the Clarion Ledger, six players at PRCC have been diagnosed with the mumps. The outbreak has been contained to just the baseball team, but it’s suspected four other players could have it as well.
PRCC Director of Public Relations Chuck Abadie tells News 25 school officials have reached out to the Mississippi State Department of Health and believe this episode to now be contained.
The Wildcats play a 2 p.m. doubleheader at East Mississippi tomorrow and haven’t had to cancel any games thus far.
