Ole Miss pitching staff returns to form in time for postseason push

The Ole Miss baseball team knows if it wants to find itself in Omaha and the College World Series for the first time in seven years, it will have to rely on the one group that has not been consistent for most of the year.

A shaky pitching staff down the final stretch of the regular season was the undoing for many of the Rebels would-have-been victories. That shaky bullpen found stability in Hoover, Alabama, last week during the Rebels’ run to the semifinals of the Southeastern Conference Tournament.

Behind strong outings from Derek Diamond, Drew McDaniel and Tyler Myers, the Rebels regained some confidence in their arms and in turn providing a better outlook on their postseason chances as the Oxford Regional begins this weekend.
