Mississippi State Can Determine Their Postseason Fate against Missouri
STARKVILLE, Miss. — Mississippi State baseball has a lot riding on their final regular season series with Missouri. Earlier this season, the thought of this team playing for a hosting spot on the final weekend was far-fetched.
However, this team’s resiliency has prevailed all year long, and they have an opportunity to bring postseason baseball back to Dudy Noble Field for the first time since 2021. While State controls its destiny regarding hosting, its non-conference slip-ups have made the road more challenging.
MSU sits at 15-12 in the conference; typically, a 17-13 record is enough to feel confident about being a host site. Still, it would be cutting it close if that is their record going into Memorial Day.
Luckily for the Bulldogs, Missouri is one of the worst teams in the conference with an 8-19 conference record, and they are coming off a series loss to the only team below them in the standings, Auburn. MSU swept Auburn at Dudy Noble Field less than a month ago, but the story is reminiscent for Bulldog fans.
In 2021, before winning a national title, State was in the thick of the SEC regular season title race as it welcomed Missouri to Starkville for its final home conference series. Much like this year, the Tigers were at the bottom of the SEC, but that did not matter as they took the series from the eventual national champions.
Missouri is still playing for a spot in the SEC tournament, and a sweep over the Bulldogs would help them get to Hoover. Mississippi State head coach Chris Lemonis understands his team must focus on the task at hand.
“They are still playing for a lot… I have been that team,” Lemonis said. “It is about us.”
State seems to be piecing together its roster as guys such as Joe Powell and Logan Kohler are finding more consistency. Both guys struggled early in the season but have found their stride, especially Powell, who hit three home runs in the Bulldogs’ 8-4 win over North Alabama.
Although the series loss to Arkansas in Fayetteville was frustrating, it may have shown the rest of the country how good this State team is.
“The series at Arkansas did not go the way we wanted, but we showed that we are one of the top teams in the country,” Powell said.
The win over North Alabama also saw the return of former MSU ace Nate Dohm. The Indiana native tossed two perfect innings and showed great control with his 92-94 MPH fastball.
Dohm’s role on this team is still up in the air, but having him back in any capacity can only be positive for State. This team has all of its goals in front of it, and they seem to be hitting their stride at the perfect time. However, if they want to ensure that the Road to Omaha starts in Starkville, they must take care of business against Missouri.
“I have told them all week, I don’t care about scenarios or tournaments; all we can control is what is between the white lines,” Lemonis said. “Our job is to prove to the committe that we are one of the top 16 teams in the country.”

Water Safety Tips from Missouri State Highway Patrol – Ozark Radio News
As summer recreation ramps up across Missouri, safety officials are reminding residents that water safety begins long before anyone steps into a lake or river. Understanding the risks of water activities, knowing personal limits, and making responsible choices are the foundation of preventing tragedies on the water.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol and other safety agencies emphasize that natural waterways can present hidden hazards, including strong currents, sudden drop‑offs, and floating debris. Swimmers are urged to stay aware of their surroundings, use life jackets when appropriate, and avoid swimming alone.

Officials say simple precautions—such as recognizing fatigue, monitoring weather conditions, and watching out for others in your group—can make the difference between a fun day on the water and a dangerous situation. As families head outdoors, authorities encourage everyone to treat water safety as a shared responsibility.

Date set for Missouri basketball vs Kansas in Border War game
The date for the last matchup in the current Border War series is set.
Missouri men’s basketball will face Kansas in the Border War game on Dec. 6 at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, according to a post from the Jayhawks’ official X/Twitter account Tuesday. The tipoff time and TV designation for the matchup will be released at a later date.
Kansas released its full nonconference schedule Tuesday, including the sixth and final game against Mizzou on the current competition contract.
The historic rivals have not yet signed a contract to renew the series beyond this season, according to a recent batch of competition contracts obtained by the Tribune through an open records request.
Missouri is yet to announce its nonconference schedule for the 2026-27 season, but there are three other known or reported games for this upcoming season.
Mizzou will face Howard at Mizzou Arena in the last leg of a three-game series, which will take place on a still-to-be-determined date.
The Tigers also have three more neutral-site games on their schedule. The annual Braggin’ Rights matchup against Illinois likely will fall in mid- or late- December at Enterprise Center, and Mizzou has agreed to a Nov. 15 trip to United Center in Chicago to face Marquette. Missouri also reportedly will face Saint Louis on Nov. 6 at Enterprise Center, according to Jon Rothstein at CBS Sports and College Hoops Today.
This season’s Border War matchup will include the first direct transfer between the two schools when Bryson Tiller suits up for Missouri after spending last season, his freshman year, at Kansas.
KU has won four of the five games since the series was renewed in 2021, including an 80-60 win in Kansas City last season. Missouri won the 2024-25 season matchup at Mizzou Arena, but has not beaten Kansas outside of Columbia since 2003.
