For Saturday’s games, sophomore pitchers Charlie Foster and Tomas Valincius are slated to start for Mississippi State. Hofstra will send senior right-hander Sean Hamilton and sophomore Christian Rasmussen to the mound.
All tickets purchased for Saturday and Sunday will be valid for the doubleheader. Saturday tickets will provide seating priority for the first game, while Sunday tickets will be standing room only. Conversely, for the second game, Sunday tickets will have priority seating, and Saturday tickets will be standing room only. Only Saturday parking passes will be valid for the game day.
Fans can use their Saturday and Sunday tickets to access the Triple Crown Club for both games, as the stadium will not be cleared between contests. Alcohol sales will cease during the first game but will resume once the umpires leave the field.
