Softball Releases 2022 Promotional Schedule
February 03, 2022 | Softball
STARKVILLE – Softball returns to Nusz Park on Feb. 16 for Mississippi State's home opener against Alabama State. That will mark the first of 35 home games for the Bulldogs this season.
The 2022 season marks the 40th anniversary of MSU's first varsity fastpitch softball game on March 10, 1982. To celebrate, the Bulldogs will reveal a 20-member All-Time Team and will make trading cards for each all-time player available throughout the SEC portion of the schedule. Additionally, State will welcome back the "Ladies of the 80s" on Saturday, March 19 against Ole Miss.
A variety of theme nights, many including corresponding giveaway items, are on tap for fans at Nusz Park this year. In addition, MSU has reconstructed and improved The Deck along the outfield wall. A raised rear perch has been added to allow additional fans a viewing platform to see over the remainder of the crowd. The lighting at Nusz Park has also been replaced with state-of-the-art LED panels atop the existing light towers.
Most midweek games will feature various musical themes, including Taylor's Version Night, Boy Band Night and 2000s Night. Additional theme games include Military Appreciation Night (Feb. 20), Little League Day (Feb. 26), First Responder Night (March 5), Teacher Appreciation Night (May 6) and Samoan Day (May 7).
MSU will once again host The Snowman on Feb. 25-27 to raise awareness of ovarian cancer in honor of the late Alex Wilcox. During The Snowman, fans of the Bulldogs can pick up a punch card for all MSU events over the weekend to earn additional prizes based upon the number of contests they attend.
Every Friday of the SEC schedule will offer a chance to play scorecard bingo, and every Sunday will be an opportunity to collect a five-card set of State's All-Time Team trading cards (20 total cards).
April 8-10 is Alumni Weekend with notable alumni throwing out the first pitch for each contest against Missouri. The Saturday game of that series will begin with senior recognitions for 2021 team members Emily Williams and Carter Spexarth.
For the first time since 2019, Bark in the Park returns on Saturday, April 23 against Auburn. The full schedule of theme nights and giveaways can be found below. Please note dates are subject to change due to weather or other circumstances.
