MSU To Play Florida State In Pensacola Exhibition
July 30, 2025 | Baseball
PENSACOLA, Fla., - Mississippi State is headed to the Florida panhandle for a fall exhibition game.
The Diamond Dawgs will scrimmage against Florida State on Oct. 18 at 1 p.m. at Blue Wahoos Stadium in Pensacola, home to the Miami Marlins' Double-A affiliate.
"I'm excited about the group of young men that will wear the M over S logo this year and can't wait for them all to come together and get to work this fall," said head coach Brian O'Connor. "We're looking forward to traveling down to Pensacola in October and appreciate the hospitality already shown by Blue Wahoos. We hope to see a lot of Maroon and White in the stands when we take the field against the Seminoles."
Tickets are currently available to Blue Wahoos season ticket holders and will go on sale to the general public on Aug. 12 at 9 a.m. at BlueWahoos.com.
The Seminoles are certainly not strangers to MSU on the Diamond. The two perennial powers have played 16 times over the years, including eight times in the postseason. October's exhibition game will be a rematch of the 2025 Tallahassee Regional finals.
"Our organization's mission is to create memorable experiences, and bringing two elite college baseball teams to Pensacola is going to create memories for a lot of people," said Pensacola Blue Wahoos team president Jonathan Griffith. "We're excited to provide this event both to our local, longtime Blue Wahoos fans, as well as the many visitors who will be taking in our award-winning gameday experience for the first time."
