For the 11th time in program history, MSU is the champion of SEC baseball.
This one was a long time coming – the first since 1989. The Diamond Dawgs finished the conference schedule 21-9. They won the last 10 games including three sweeps to finish one half game ahead of South Carolina overall.
About an hour prior to the conclusion of State’s 9-4 win over Arkansas, Ole Miss defeated Texas A&M 3-2, to open the door for the outright championship.
The Bulldogs’ 21st win of the year also marks the biggest single-season turnaround in SEC history.
