As the students flocked out of Oxford after the end of the spring semester, there was still a bit of commotion on the corner of Chucky Mullins Drive and Hathorn Road at the Ole Miss Softball Complex.
Extra bleachers and other additional seating renovations have been added in preparations for the NCAA Oxford Regional this weekend. The Rebels, who are the No. 11 overall seed, will host three other programs in the opening round of the tournament.
This weekend marks the second time Ole Miss has hosted a regional, and the Rebels will have their hands full with one of the more challenging draws in the tournament with a pool that includes Louisiana-Lafayette, Southeast Missouri State and Chattanooga, three 35-plus win teams.
