D1Baseball: Mississippi State in position to host regional
SUMMARY: The No. 16 Mississippi State baseball team has experienced a dramatic season, with coach Chris Lemonis' job once in question, but he's now in discussions for coach of the year. The Bulldogs are likely to host a regional if they maintain their performance, according to D1Baseball's Kendall Rogers. Mississippi State has won seven of their last eight games and could raise their conference win tally to 18. The non-SEC Governor's Cup could also influence the committee's decision. Meanwhile, Ole Miss might only make the SEC Tournament, and Southern Miss, though currently positioned for a regional, needs to demonstrate consistency for committee assurance.
