LIVE UPDATES: Ole Miss Baseball Opens Weekend Series vs. Iowa

The Ole Miss Rebels are opening their series against the Iowa Hawkeyes on Friday night.

New uniforms and some visitors from Iowa City? That makes for an interesting weekend at Swayze Field in Oxford.

The Ole Miss Rebels are set to play host to the Iowa Hawkeyes this weekend, and as winners of four straight games, they have a lot of momentum trending their way entering another home weekend series.

The Rebels took the final two games of last weekend's series vs. the High Point Panthers before picking up wins in midweek action over the Little Rock Trojans and Missouri State Bears on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.

Ole Miss is also set to debut some new uniforms on Friday night, featuring a cream set with a new navy hat featuring the "script M" logo that has become an alternate look across multiple sports on campus.
