Kennedy, Cook Lead Teams In Annual Fall World Series

STARKVILLE – Mississippi State softball will close its fall practice window with the annual Fall World Series at Nusz Park on Friday, Oct. 20. First pitch is set for 4 p.m. CT, and the game is free for fans to attend.
 
A pair of fifth-year Bulldogs who have been rehabbing from injuries over the summer and fall will captain the two teams this year since they will not be able to play in the game. Madisyn Kennedy and Paige Cook will draft their teams on Friday, Oct. 13 and have the following week to prepare for the traditional end to the fall season.
 
While the coaching staff will remain neutral, support staff, including athletic trainers, strength coaches and student managers, will be available in the draft. Kennedy and Cook will have full control over their lineup cards and any substitutions they may choose to make during the seven-inning game.
 
Mississippi State will conclude the outside competition portion of its fall season this weekend with three games over the next two days. On Friday, State hosts Mississippi College at 6 p.m. before playing a pair of games against Middle Tennessee and Pearl River CC on Saturday, beginning at 2 p.m.
