LSU-Mississippi State game one moved up Friday

By Hunt Palmer

LSU and Mississippi State will get started early on Friday.

First pitch has been moved up to 3:00pm with the forecast of inclement weather in Starkville. The game was initially set for 6:00. It will be broadcast on SEC Network+.

This weekend is Super Bulldog Weekend as Mississippi State finishes up spring football practice. It’s a weekend-long celebration that has often broken attendance records at Dudy Noble Field.

The Bulldogs enter the weekend 10-8 in SEC play having swept South Carolina a week ago. LSU has lost six straight SEC games and sits at 6-12.

The Tigers will send right-hander Casan Evans to the mound. State’s Tomas Valincius will get the ball.
