How to Watch Lipscomb at No. 4 Mississippi State: TV Channel, Pitching Matchup

No. 4 Mississippi State is doing what it needs to do this weekend (win) but Lipscomb isn’t making it the walk‑in‑the‑park you might expect just by looking at the records.
The Bisons have pushed the Bulldogs through a full nine innings in both games so far, even if the final margins ended up at five runs each time. It hasn’t been stressful, but it hasn’t been breezy either.
And honestly, after back‑to‑back losses to top‑10 teams, Mississippi State getting back to its winning ways is probably the most important thing. These are the kinds of games that help reset confidence before the SEC schedule arrives, and that’s when everything gets a lot more real.
The Bulldogs will get another chance to keep building that momentum Saturday morning, weather permitting.
