What channel is Georgia baseball vs Mississippi State today in Athens Super Regional?

Georgia baseball plays its first super regional series against an SEC opponent in 20 years this weekend.

The matchup against Mississippi State should raise the intensity level even more for postseason baseball. Even with an 11 a.m. start on Saturday June 5.

The teams will meet this weekend for the fifth and sixth time this season with a possible seventh game on Monday.

“It’s kind of crazy that we’re matched up in a super regional,” Georgia coach Wes Johnson said. “I feel like they should be somewhere else but that’s for me to determine. They’re a quality ballclub. …We came out and grinded out all of those games on the road.”

No. 3 seed Georgia (49-12) has won the first four games against No. 14 Mississippi State (43-17) including at the SEC Tournament in Hoover, Ala.

“It’s going to take somebody to get a big knockout punch…two-run home run, three-run home run, starters to rise up on the mound and hold them down,” Mississippi State coach Brian O’Connor said. “But I think we’re plenty equipped for that. We’ll see what happens. There’s been many examples where teams got swept during the year and they match up in a Super Regional or Omaha and that’s a totally different story.”

Georgia beat South Carolina two games to one in 2006 in Athens after also winning the first four games that season.
