The Raymond Campus of Hinds Community College is set to serve as the host site for the four-team Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) state baseball tournament. 

The annual double elimination event will be held from Thursday, May 7 through Saturday, May 9 at Joe G. Moss Field.
 
A possible seven games will be held over the three-day period with the top three schools from this weekend's event advancing to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region 23 Tournament next weekend in Eunice, La.
 
No. 15 East Mississippi Community College (28-14), which defeated Mississippi Delta Community College in the MACJC first round, and No. 20 Northwest Community College (30-13), which defeated Jones County Junior College over the weekend, will meet in the opening game of the tournament at 2 p.m. on Thursday.
 
The host Eagles of Hinds (38-5), currently ranked No. 1 in the latest National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) poll, will then take the field for the first time at 6 p.m. versus No. 19 Meridian Community College (33-15).
 
Hinds is coming off a two-game sweep over Southwest Community College on Friday and Saturday, while Meridian was taken to the limit by East Central Community College before claiming the series in game three on Saturday.
 
All four teams in this weekend's state tournament served as hosts for last weekend's best two-of-three series due to each team finishing in the top four overall in the MACJC regular season standings, with Hinds finishing first, trailed by East Mississippi in second, Northwest in third place and Meridian in fourth place.
 
A pair of elimination games are scheduled for Friday, with the losing teams in games one and two meeting at 11 a.m. The loser of that contest ends their season while the victor secures a spot in the regionals and in the 6 p.m. elimination game later that evening.

The two winners of Thursday's matchups hit the diamond at 2:30 p.m. with a berth to the title game on the line. The loser of that game must bounce back quickly with a final elimination game booked for a 6 p.m. start on Friday evening.
 
The 2015 MACJC State Championship game will begin at 2 p.m. on Saturday with an if necessary contest to follow at approximately 6 p.m.

Admission is $5 per person. Hinds Community College students and faculty may enter free, but only with a valid Hinds ID. Children under 10 will be admitted for free, while tournament passes may be purchased for $15.
