Ole Miss baseball kicks off its appearance at the College World Series facing Auburn tonight in Omaha.
The Rebels have been ridiculously hot of late, winning five straight games in the postseason to get here. Now the team faces an Auburn squad who have won 42 games and have a dangerous hitter in behemoth Sonny DiChiara who is batting nearly .400 with 22 home runs on the season.
Ole Miss beat Auburn two out of three on the Plains earlier this season, but it’s clear that was a different Rebel team. The starting rotation was not clear, Kevin Graham left with an injury during the series, and a couple players were just in a slump offensively.
