Ole Miss baseball moved from the ten spot to ninth nationally in D1Baseball’s latest top 25 poll released Monday.
The Rebels (19-8, 4-5 SEC) are coming off a road series win over Kentucky and a mid-week win over North Alabama. This week presents a bigger challenge with a mid-week game against No. 18 Southern Miss in Pearl, Miss. and hosting Alabama (17-12, 4-5 SEC) in Oxford.
USM (19-8, 7-2 CUSA) has already notched wins against in-state rival Mississippi St. and Alabama this season in mid-week action, so it is unlikely the Mustard Buzzards will come into the game with any doubt of its ability to win.
