No. 4 MSU And Alabama To Play Saturday Doubleheader
April 29, 2016 | Baseball
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Due to the threat of inclement weather in the Tuscaloosa area, No. 4 Mississippi State baseball will play a doubleheader against Alabama Saturday beginning at 1 p.m. at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
Both contests will be seven innings, with a 30-45 minutes in between each game. Each game will be broadcasted online on the SEC Network +.
Saturday's forecast is cloudy with temperatures in the mid 80s. Tickets purchased for Saturday's game will work for admittance to both games. The ticket for Friday's contest is good for the first game of the doubleheader, with fans allowed to remain in the stadium and at their seat for game two if the seat is open. If the seat is occupied by a person purchasing admittance to the second game, then fans from game one are asked to move to general admission seating.
The Bulldogs and Crimson Tide were in a similar situation last year in Starkville, as rain pushed the series opener into a Saturday doubleheader. MSU split the twin bill with UA, dropping game one, 10-5, but winning game two, 4-1.
