The Rebels (21-12, 6-6 SEC) just completed a big-time season series sweep over an extremely talented and nationally-ranked Southern Miss squad in Hattiesburg on Tuesday. Ole Miss struggled at the plate with strikeouts but got the crucial situational hitting it’s been lacking for the better part of the year. Now, the Rebels head south to the Pelican State to take on the No. 9 LSU Tigers (23-11, 7-5 SEC) and try to win a series there for the first time since 1982.
This Mike Bianco club has been quite perplexing this season. The roller coaster ride of a team that pitches it about as well as anyone.
