Rebels close out Missouri series with a win
The Missouri Tigers traveled to Oxford over the weekend for a three-game series with the Ole Miss Rebels, fresh off a 14-6 midweek victory over Arkansas Pine Bluff.
After a 41-minute rain delay Friday night, the Ole Miss grounds crew peeled back the tarp covering Swayze Field as the Rebels and Tigers returned from their respective dugouts. Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco gave the start to James McArthur, while Missouri’s Cole Bartlett got the nod from Steve Bieser. Tanner Houck was slated to start for the Tigers, but a last-minute pitching change kept the Rebel coaching staff on its toes.
