📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Beneath The Broccoli! Produce has a history of providing postseason power for Mississippi State University.

Who could forget eight years ago, on the baseball diamond, when now-MLB All-Star Jordan Westburg picked up a banana in the State dugout to use as a faux radar gun in the 2018 Tallahassee Regional? The act was caught by television cameras and suddenly, innocent fun turned into a rallying point of sorts for MSU.

Fans started to dress as bananas. Squishy bananas were given away to supporters. The fantastic fruit was everywhere as the Bulldogs battled back through the loser's bracket in Tallahassee, won one of the most edge-of-your-seat Super Regionals ever at Vanderbilt, then made it all the way to semifinals in Omaha.

Less than a decade later, on a different diamond, produce is producing again for State. MSU softball's first-ever Women's College World Series berth has been buoyed by broccoli.

🔼 Ready For The Big Stage! Softball's biggest stage awaits Mississippi State beginning Thursday when the Bulldogs play their first-ever Women's College World Series game. MSU will battle in a setting no one in MSU Maroon and White has before.

In times like these, with so much on the line, it always helps to have someone to look to and lean on. Enter State senior Abby Grace Richardson whose career has consistently featured ballgames where the stakes were the highest possible.

🔼 All That And More! Mississippi State softball’s Alyssa Faircloth has been named a Second Team All-American by D1Softball!

Faircloth was dominant down the stretch, leading MSU in strikeouts and ERA in conference play before posting a historic performance in the Eugene Regional.

🥎 ACADEMIC HONORS: Five Bulldogs Earn Academic All-District Honors, Goold Academic All-American Finalist

🔼 Running Toward The Finish Line! Mississippi State track and field begins competition at the NCAA East First Round today, with 26 Bulldogs in attendance with the goal of qualifying for the NCAA Championships in June!
