No. 9 Ole Miss Faces No. 18 Southern Miss at Neutral Site for Midweek Tilt

The Rebels and Golden Eagles will do battle in Pearl, Miss., on Tuesday evening.

PEARL, Miss. — Fresh off its series win at Kentucky over the weekend, No. 9 Ole Miss baseball is scheduled to face in-state opponent Southern Miss at Trustmark Park on Tuesday night.

The Rebels and Golden Eagles will square off at the home of the Atlanta Braves’ AA-affiliate Mississippi Braves, and Ole Miss is looking to carry momentum into a home weekend series against Alabama.

Southern Miss jumped into the D1Baseball Top 25 this week as well, coming in at No. 18 in the country. After revamping its weekend pitching rotation against Kentucky, former Friday night starter Derek Diamond is expected to take the hill for Ole Miss in the midweek. 

Here's what to expect when the Mississippi foes square off on Tuesday in Pearl.
