Two of Mississippi's top baseball programs will vie for a crucial non-conference win on Tuesday when No. 8 Ole Miss battles No. 24 Southern Miss in Pearl.
The Rebels (19-8, 4-5 SEC) face the Golden Eagles (19-8, 7-2 Conference USA) on Tuesday (6 p.m.) at Trustmark Park, home of the Mississippi Braves. Southern Miss will have the chance to even the score after Ole Miss ended the Golden Eagles' season in the Oxford Regional championship.
Southern Miss will start right-hander Tyler Stuart (2-0, 1.99 ERA). Stuart has thrived against top competition this year.
