Behind one of the hottest offenses in all of college baseball, Missouri State will look to continue its surprise run this week in the NCAA Baseball Tournament.
This will be the first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2018 for Missouri State when it takes the field on Friday at 6 p.m. against Oklahoma State in the opening round of the Stillwater Regional.
The Bears are coming off an improbable run through the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament to secure the league's automatic bid to the tournament. They were a sub-.500 team and were the sixth-seed when the conference tournament began, but 20 home runs, a few solid pitching performances and a few breaks later, the Bears baseball program is back where it belongs.
