For all of Mississippi State Baseball’s success, the Bulldogs have never won a national championship. In 2013 they got mighty close, falling to UCLA in the College World Series finals and finishing the season as the nation’s consensus number two team.

Will 2014 be the year coach John Cohen and the boys finally bring a College World Series championship trophy to Dudy Noble Field? Mississippi State baseball’s 2014 schedule is below. The $ marks The Diamond Classic, presented by Polk’s Meat Products, and there is an asterisk (*) by all of Mississippi State’s Southeastern Conference (SEC) games.
