Coming off an opening weekend sweep over three top-10 teams the Ole Miss baseball team was flying-high as the nation’s top team, but that feeling is gone after their first home weekend series.
The No. 1 Rebels split Saturday’s doubleheader but dropped their series with Central Florida with a 7-2 loss in the second game of the twin bill at Oxford-University Stadium. The Knights took the opening game of the series with a 3-2 victory on Friday.
Ole Miss (5-2) took the first game of the doubleheader, beating UCF 6-5 thanks to Tim Elko’s walk-off RBI single.
