Things got sticky for a moment, but Michigan State baseball will be making the trip to Omaha, playing in the 2025 Big Ten Tournament.
Michigan State entered the weekend against Minnesota needing to take care of business, holding off Northwestern to keep themselves inside of the top 12 in the Big Ten’s standings. After MSU dropped the first two games of the weekend, and Northwestern split the first two with UCLA, it all came down to Saturday’s games.
In the Spartans affair with the Golden Gophers, Michigan State won a thriller behind Randy Seymour’s walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth, taking an 11-10 victory. Following the win, it was time for the Spartans to lock into Northwestern’s affair with UCLA, needing the Wildcats to lose to get their ticket to Omaha.
During that game, UCLA took care of business, run-ruling Northwestern, 11-1 in seven innings The Wildcats loss punches Michigan State’s ticket into the Big Ten Tournament, securing them the No. 12 seed.
As the No. 12 seed, Michigan State will lock up with the No. 1 and No. 8 seeds in the round robin portion of the Big Ten Tournament, playing for their spot in the Big Ten semifinals.
The Spartans found out about the news when they were celebrating their senior banquet.
