Ole Miss, Mississippi State Adjust Weekend Baseball Series Due to Weather

The Ole Miss Rebels baseball team is set for a critical three-game series against in-state rival Mississippi State in Starkville, with a Friday doubleheader scheduled due to expected inclement weather. Ole Miss comes into the series with a 33-15 overall record and 13-11 in SEC play, seeking to improve their postseason positioning by securing more conference wins and a good showing in the SEC Tournament. Mississippi State, currently 29-19 overall and 10-14 in the SEC, has gained momentum under interim coach Justin Parker, going 4-0 since the coaching change and sweeping Kentucky in their last series. The Rebels are coming off a series loss to Oklahoma but have notable strengths such as a high national ranking, strong offensive production with 88 home runs this season, and a pitching staff ranked eighth in the NCAA for strikeouts per nine innings. Both teams need wins to bolster their postseason hopes, with Ole Miss aiming to stay above .500 in SEC play and Mississippi State revitalized after recent coaching changes. Broadcast details for the Friday doubleheader are set, with games airing on SEC Network and SEC Network+.
