I know most of you reading this don't know it, but Mississippi State baseball is currently in the post-season. We swept a series of games last weekend in the Atlanta Regional, which moved us into a Super-Regional this weekend against #2 Florida. The Gators are a great team. We played them four times this year, and only won once. The winner of this weekend's best of three series heads to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. We got killed Friday, losing 11-1. On Saturday, Florida was leading 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth inning (just three outs away from winning the series), when Nick Vickerson hit this amazing game winning home run off the first pitch he saw. I couldn't see it live, but watching the replay is a lot of fun. Just when it looked like our season was over, one swing of the bat kept us alive for one more day. The winner of today's game will head to the College World Series. Mississippi State is the underdog, but there's a good chance we could win today. Everyone who's a MS State fan should wear Maroon today for a special Maroon Sunday. I'll be following the score live tonight. GO DAWGS!
