Coming off a regular season ending series road win over Alabama the Ole Miss baseball picked up the SEC West title. The Rebels (42-14, 18-12) also picked up a No.2 seed in the SEC Tourney which began Tuesday in Hoover. Of course, with a No.2 seed in the tourney the Rebels received a first round bye and don’t begin play until today.
The Rebels will face Auburn who was the winner between them and Kentucky. The Rebels faced the Auburn Tigers in the regular season and earned the series sweep. The Rebels rocked the Tigers pitching ace Casey Mize in the series and though it was speculated they would see him today it was reported the Tigers would save Mize until Thursday.
