This is a weekend for letting baseball just flow over you. So much to soak in. Millsaps faces elimination — and the end of its season — today in the SCAC Tournament. Rivals William Carey and Belhaven hook up tonight and Saturday in a big SSAC series at Smith-Wills Stadium. Delta State, ranked seventh in the first Division II South Region poll, visits GSC West leader Harding, No. 8 in the region, in a division series of considerable import. Resurgent Mississippi College, having clinched an ASC postseason berth, tries to keep its momentum going against LeTourneau in Clinton today. Ole Miss, down 0-1, continues a key SEC West series at Auburn tonight and Saturday. Mississippi State welcomes defending national champion and second-ranked South Carolina to Dudy Noble Field this weekend. Southern Miss, with B.A. Vollmuth back in the lineup, hosts last-place Marshall in C-USA play at Taylor Park. The state’s three SWAC schools, battling for first place in the East, all play home series this weekend. Many of the junior colleges will engage in pivotal doubleheaders today or Saturday as they race toward the finish of the regular season. High school playoffs, for both public and private schools, are in full swing today. And the scuffling Mississippi Braves (4-10 and last in the Southern League South) return to Trustmark Park on Saturday to launch a 10-game homestand.
