This is a great day for baseball here at Daikin Park, home of the World-Famous Astros. Today the first game of the 2025 25th annual college classic starts with Rice University facing off against Mississippi State University. For some this game is starting off as a slow one, but sometimes slow can be good and in this case, this game is causing a lot of excitement around the ballpark. With neither team scoring a run in the first inning, that changed with Mississippi University scoring the first run of the game in the bottom of the second half, then scoring two additional runs in the bottom of the third inning.
Neither team managed to score in the fourth inning, and it wouldn’t be until the top of the fifth inning when Rice University scored two runs making the score 2-3. But Rice University's celebration wouldn’t last long but Mississippi State University scored yet another run in the bottom of the same inning. Rice University was able to come back to the top of the sixth inning by scoring another run but took another hit when Mississippi State University scored another two runs. Score was 3 (Rice University) – 6 (Mississippi State University).
The seventh inning was a nightmare for Rice University, with Mississippi State University scoring eight consecutive runs bringing the score 3-14. Fans of Rice University are wondering if their team will be able to pull off a win for this game. Although both teams are playing relatively well, this just may not be Rice’s game. In any case, the fans of Rice University are doing their best to keep hope alive as the game continues.
In a stunning turn of events, this game was declared over in the seventh inning with Rice University losing to Mississippi State University.
