This weekend coach Mike Bianco and No.11 Ole Miss baseball (32-17, 15-9) will be facing another very good SEC opponent. Friday night the Rebels will open game-one of a three-game SEC series against in-state rival No.5 Miss State (38-10, 15-9). While the Bulldogs have the better overall record in 2019 they both sit tied for the second spot in the SEC West behind Arkansas.
Naturally, this will be a huge series for both teams with their positions in the SEC and national rankings. However, with just six SEC games left for both teams heading into the SEC Tourney which begins in a couple of weeks, this weekend will be pivotal for tourney seeding.
