STARKVILLE – After a competitive fall session, the Mississippi State baseball program will wrap up its 2020 on-field efforts with a five-game Fall World Series, beginning on Friday, Oct. 23 at 4 p.m. Each game of the series will be broadcast by Jim Ellis on hailstate.com/plus.

In accordance with COVID-19 protocols, fans will not be allowed to attend any games in person.

The Diamond Dawgs will throw the first pitch of the series at 4 p.m. on Friday (Oct. 23) and follow that with a Noon start on Saturday (Oct. 24). After the 1 p.m. first pitch on Sunday (Oct. 25), MSU will take Monday off, before throwing 3 p.m. first pitches on Tuesday (Oct. 27) and Wednesday (Oct. 28).

All five games will be played regardless of outcome, with assistant coaches Kyle Cheesebrough and Jake Gautreau heading up Team Queso and Team Goat, respectively. Team Cheese will be the home team in games one, three and five, with Team Goat owning the home dugout for games two and four.

The rosters were chosen in groups: starters, outfielders, relievers, infielders, catchers and then managers. Starting pitchers were paired together by who would be starting each day. Team Goat had the first pick and took Christian MacLeod, so Team Queso got Eric Cerantola. Then, Team Queso took Will Bednar with its first pick, giving Team Goat Cameron Tullar.
