For a night, at least, it looked as though Ole Miss’ lineup was back on track. The Rebel bats broke out in their series opener against Kentucky, out-slugging the SEC’s most explosive offense during a 9-6 win last Thursday night. Two days later, Mike Bianco’s club was limping out of Lexington with a series loss and the same old problems at the plate.
The Rebs crossed the plate just three times on Friday and Saturday as they fell to 15-9 overall and 3-3 in conference. That subsequently drops them to No. 18 in the latest composite rankings.
The good news is that the pitching success continued, even if the bullpen was a bit shaky.
