Mississippi State Gears Up for Tallahassee Regional in NCAA Baseball Tournament
The Mississippi State Bulldogs are headed to the Tallahassee Regional as part of the 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament, where they’ll face stiff competition — including a red-hot Northeastern team riding a 27-game winning streak. The regional, hosted by Florida State, promises high-stakes matchups and fierce competition as teams vie for a spot in the Super Regionals.
Mississippi State enters the regional with a 34-21 record, showcasing a well-balanced roster that combines offensive power with solid pitching depth. The Bulldogs’ offense is led by standout hitter Ace Reese, who has been a catalyst all season with his bat and leadership. Reese has emerged as one of the most dangerous hitters in the SEC, boasting a .342 average with 17 home runs.
The Bulldogs will open the regional against Northeastern, whose historic win streak has caught national attention. Head coach Chris Lemonis emphasized the importance of focus and resilience heading into the matchup.
“We’ve battled through one of the toughest conferences in college baseball,” Lemonis said. “This team is built for big moments. We respect what Northeastern has accomplished, but we’re coming in with a mission.”
The regional also includes Florida State, the No. 1 seed, and Central Connecticut State, making it one of the most competitive groups in the bracket. Mississippi State fans are hopeful the team can recapture the magic of its 2021 national championship run.
If the Bulldogs can get past the opening round, they’ll have a strong chance to build momentum and push toward Omaha. With postseason experience, a potent lineup, and a motivated coaching staff, Mississippi State is poised to make noise in the 2025 NCAA Tournament.
The action begins this weekend, with the Bulldogs ready to prove they belong among the nation’s elite once again.
