- on march 11th... the mississipp- state baseball team completed - a two-game sweep of texas - tech... in the inaugrual- hancock whitney classic... at - m-g-m park, in biloxi.- on march 12th... the- n-c-double-a canceled all - remaining winter- and spring championships... due- to the corona-virus.- hard to believe that was almost- four weeks ago... considering - the - bulldogs have already missed 16- games... since the s-e-c- canceled the rest of its spring- calendar.

- but with each passing day... th- mindset starts to shift from- what could've been... to what - could be.

- at least... that's the mindset- of second-year head coach chris- lemonis... who's projecting a - bright future, for college- baseball... despite the looming- challenges of - roster size... scholarship- increases... and recruiting.- - "we keep saying man, we have a- chance to - be really good and then i alway- follow it up with i think - everybody thinks they - have a chance to be really good- so you're going to see college- baseball at its highest - level in this upcoming year,- maybe two years because of the- - - - influx of players in the game.- and the way the draft hits- everything, i think you'll see- more high - school seniors going to a - school.

So it's going to be - interesting and it'll be very - competitive and we're already i- a very competitive league, so - it'll be a lot of fun.

I'm- - - - sure our fans will enjoy it."
