Kendall Rogers of D1Baseball predicts Omaha run for Mississippi State
SUMMARY: Both Mississippi State and Southern Miss are two-seeds in the NCAA Tournament. D1Baseball’s managing editor Kendall Rogers discussed their prospects on SportsTalk Mississippi. For Mississippi State, he emphasizes strong pitching and standout performances from hitters like Dakota Jordan to advance past the Charlottesville Regional. Rogers predicts a successful postseason for the Bulldogs, potentially reaching the College World Series. Southern Miss recently won the Sun Belt championship under first-year coach Christian Ostrander. Despite facing a tough regional with top-ranked Tennessee, their experience against the Volunteers could be advantageous.
