Mississippi State baseball hits the road for its first away SEC series of the season. MSU plays a three-game set at No. 6 Texas A&M, starting on Thursday.

Playing a top 10 opponent is nothing new for the Bulldogs, who opened conference play by a winning a series at Dudy Noble Field against then-No. 2 LSU. After defeating the Tigers, Mississippi State (16-6, 2-1 SEC) was the top unranked team receiving votes in this week's USA TODAY coaches poll.

The Aggies (18-2, 1-2) are off to a strong start this year after reaching a super regional last season. In the offseason, A&M made a noteworthy transfer portal addition by bringing in two-way star Braden Montgomery − a product of Madison, Mississippi − from Stanford. He's hitting .368 with nine home runs, but Montgomery has pitched only one inning this season.
