The Ole Miss Rebels have gotten hot at the right time and for the Southern Miss pitching staff, the Rebs were too hot to handle in Game 1 of the Hattiesburg Super Regional. Whoever decided to start this game at 3:00 has never been to south Mississippi in June nor played on an all turf field. The conditions did not bother the Rebels on their way to a 10-0 win on Saturday.
It was strength against strength heading into this Super Regional matchup. The Rebels had to find a way to either get to the USM stellar pitching staff often or have their pitching staff step up like they did in Coral Gables.
