Diamond Rebels prepare for LSU

It would be difficult to overstate the importance of this weekend’s series between No. 9 Ole Miss and No. 8 LSU at Swayze Field.

This late-April SEC series features two teams that are teetering on the cusp of hosting a regional or having to go elsewhere come June. D1 Baseball’s latest projections had LSU as a host and Ole Miss as a two-seed, while Baseball America had Ole Miss hosting and the Tigers at a two-seed.

To put it simply: Both teams really need this series.
