Mississippi’s Premier College Baseball Showdowns Set for Trustmark Park

The swamp is stirring, the mud is deep, and Mississippi’s biggest baseball rivalries are about to collide at Trustmark Park. The C Spire College Showdown and the MS Farm Bureau Governor’s Cup are set to bring the heat, the intensity, and maybe even a little bit of monster mayhem to Central Mississippi. With #18 Mississippi State, #22 Southern Miss, and #25 Ole Miss storming into Pearl, fans can expect a showdown as fierce as a summer storm rolling off the reservoir.

PEARL, Miss. (February 25, 2025) — When these teams step onto the field, it won’t just be about balls and strikes—it’s about state pride, bragging rights, and proving who can thrive in the swamp. According to the latest D1Baseball.com Top 25 Rankings, these are three of the best teams in the nation, and Trustmark Park will be the proving ground.

For Ole Miss and Mississippi State, the MS Farm Bureau Governor’s Cup continues a storied tradition dating back to 1980, when the two teams first met at a neutral site for annual supremacy. Since moving to Trustmark Park in 2007, the Cup has been a must-see event, with both fanbases packing the stands and players treating it like a postseason battle.
