No.8 Ole Miss baseball was entering game-3 of the weekend series sitting in the driver’s seat to a sweep. Ole Miss has had surprising success at closing out series this season and their only hiccup came to a gritty Long Beach State Dirtbags team. (Do you see what I did there?) At any rate, the Rebels were sitting in a great spot for the Sunday match-up with Eastern Illinois.
The Rebels won the first two meetings in a double-header which was played Friday. With a day of rest we could expect the Rebels to pick up right where they left off and they did.
