The Southern Miss Golden Eagles traveled north to Oxford to take on the Rebels in a top-15 matchup Tuesday night. The Rebels ranked fourth in the national polls after a series win over Texas A&M; No. 15 Southern Miss is not far behind, however, also impressing throughout the first half of the season. The Rebels rallied to win by a score of 7-6 after falling in a 4-0 hole to start the game.

The Eagles figured out Ole Miss’ starting pitcher Jordan Fowler early. Six of the first seven hitters in the Southern Miss lineup forced full counts.
