It’s almost May, and as the temperature outside raises each day, so do the stakes for Ole Miss baseball. Following Tuesday’s defeat at the hands of No. 7 Mississippi State, head coach Mike Bianco and his band of Rebels will seek to finally break past the .500 barrier in conference play against the No. 15 Arkansas Razorbacks.

The series will find Ole Miss treading into enemy territory for just the fifth time this season. The results of the three-game slate could have wide-reaching impacts across the SEC and the national baseball sphere as a whole.
