Mississippi State’s baseball squad is set to open its Starkville Regional campaign against Lipscomb on May 29, a matchup that pits the Bulldogs — seeded No. 14 nationally — against a disciplined opponent fresh off a conference‑tournament triumph.
Broadcast Details and Schedule
Fans can watch the contest live on ESPN+, where the play‑by‑play duo of Jack Kizer and Jack DeLongchamps will provide the commentary. The game is slated to begin at 1 p.m. Central time, a slot chosen to maximize viewership across the Southeast.
The Bison secured their spot in the NCAA field by capturing the ASUN title, rallying through three victories in as many days to earn the automatic bid that now brings them to the Mississippi campus.
Beyond the immediate result, the stakes are layered: the victor will advance to a 1‑0 showdown on May 30, while the vanquished will tumble into an elimination game later that same day, a format that underscores the tournament’s single‑elimination intensity.
With both programs eyeing deeper runs, the Starkville Regional promises a blend of strategy and drama, as each pitch could reshape the path toward the College World Series.
The broadcast will be streamed nationally on ESPN+, ensuring that viewers across the country can follow the action in real time. The regional schedule also includes games on May 31 and June 1, providing a full slate of baseball that could extend the Bulldogs’ season well beyond the first round.
