That’s right. Cleveland will write both from the Mississippi State and Ole Miss games in the first round of the NCAA Baseball Tournament.

Mississippi State plays Southeast Missouri State at 1:30 p.m. in Starkville. Ole Miss plays Utah at 7 p.m. in Oxford.

Weather and traffic permitting, Cleveland plans to do both.

A long day?

“Hey, it’s baseball,” Cleveland said. “And this, collectively, has been the best college baseball season in Mississippi history. I wish there was some way to do Southern Miss from Tallahassee, as well.”

Check out the columns Friday afternoon and evening as Cleveland debuts at Mississippitoday.org.
