On Tuesday night Mike Bianco’s Diamond Rebels defeated Southern Miss 6-2. The victory ended a six-game losing streak against the Golden Eagles that stretched back to 2013. It was just the fourth time the Rebels had won the match-up at Trustmark Park in the 11-years the game has been an annual tradition there.
Even more important for the season at large, is the fact that it was the second straight victory for Ole Miss, who is now 22-7 (3-6 SEC) on the season, on the heels of five straight losses.
On Sunday they were able to salvage a game against Mississippi State in Starkville, perhaps capturing momentum necessary to turning around their skid in the last two weekends series.
