After dropping three straight in their series with main rival Mississippi State last weekend, head coach Mike Bianco and his Rebels found an unexpected surge of offensive playmaking in their wild 12-inning victory over No. 17 Southern Miss Tuesday night. The sudden display of solid hitting could prove monumental as the Rebs move into their weekend series against Alabama.
The Crimson Tide currently sits in last place in the SEC West yet is just one game back from Ole Miss in the standings. If the Rebels can replicate the offensive success they were able to find in their victory over the Golden Eagles, they could very likely sweep the weekend series and finally secure a solid footing in the SEC West race.
