Diamond Dawgs Set To Host No. 3 Arkansas For #SBW18

STARKVILLE, Miss. – Super Bulldog Weekend, the most exciting spring event for MSU, is upon us and Mississippi State baseball is set to host Southeastern Conference foe No. 3 Arkansas at Dudy Noble Field for the annual event.

The Diamond Dawgs (19-19, 5-10 SEC) and Razorbacks (28-10, 10-5 SEC) will are set for a three-game SEC series that will begin today at 6:30 p.m. CT. MSU and Arkansas will then play again on Saturday at 6 p.m. and conclude the series Sunday at 1 p.m. All three games will air live on SEC Network+.
