MSU Begins Fall Baseball Practice On Labor Day

STARKVILLE, Miss. - A decades old MSU baseball tradition continues September 4 at Dudy Noble Field when Mississippi State's Baseball Bulldogs begin their fall "off-season work" on Labor Day. Ron Polk, beginning his 28th season as Mississippi State head coach, said 65 players are expected to begin MSU's six-week fall drills Monday. A staggered Monday practice schedule will begin at 11:30 a.m. and continue through the afternoon. Most fall practice sessions will be held in the afternoons at Dudy Noble Field and all are open to the public. "A total evaluation of the players is the focus of our fall practice," said Polk. "Were anxious to see what kind of shape our 35 returning players are in and get our first look at our new signees and walk-on candidates." The Bulldogs return four position starters and 18 letter-winners from the 2005 club that posted a 37-23 record and advanced to the championship of the NCAA Clemson Regional in South Carolina.
