The undefeated Mississippi State baseball team took on a scrappy Virginia Tech Hokies in a College Baseball Series game under the dome at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

First pitch was scheduled for 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, Feb. 28.

Mississippi State entered the game on a ten win streak and were in the midst of the biggest challenge of the season yet. They handed Arizona State a second loss of the season, winning 8-4 to start the event on Friday. 

Virginia Tech's weekend only gets more difficult after an opening loss to Texas A&M on Friday after just seven innings, 0-10 and the 15-8 loss to Mississippi State.

Mississippi State was great on both sides of the ball. Bats were on fire with Aidan Teel getting things started. Virginia Tech almost had a late rally, though, starting the 9th inning with three home runs in four pitches to bring the deficit to just seven.
