In 2014, his first season as head coach, Mike Smith turned the team around from a 22-31 record in 2013 to 30-25 in 2014. His first Ole Miss team set school records in wins and set or tied every. single. school. record. on offense. Every one. The only one they tied was doubles, too. It was a resounding success. His team was already littered with his own recruits, namely freshman left fielder Elantra Cox, who led the team with a .378 average. But would Smith be able to keep things going in year two?
Um ... yes.
The team has already shattered the wins record they set last year, earning 37 wins with a three-game series and the postseason remaining.
