State/Alabama Rained Out; 'Dogs Eliminated From SEC Tournament Contention
May 25, 2016 | Softball
STARKVILLE, Miss. - Due to heavy rains that blanketed much of the Northeast region of the state Saturday morning, Mississippi State's regularly scheduled SEC series finale with fourth-ranked Alabama has been cancelled. Per league rules, the game will not be made up.
The rain out, coupled with South Carolina's home victory over Auburn early Sunday afternoon in the series finale, mathematically eliminated Mississippi State (30-28, 4-22 SEC) from its quest for a ninth consecutive SEC Tournament berth. The Bulldogs last missed the league's postseason tournament in 1997.
The Bulldogs will return to action next weekend when the Maroon and White head to Lexington, Ky., to close out their regular season schedule against the Kentucky Wildcats (21-32, 4-22). The ?€˜Dogs and ?€˜Cats will open up their weekend set in a 1 p.m. EDT Saturday afternoon doubleheader, before closing out the series on Sunday with a single game that has also been slated for a 1 p.m. first pitch.
