The Ole Miss Baseball team snapped its four-game losing skid with an 8-2 win over Murray State to improve their record to 20-12 on the year.
Losing would have been… quite bad.
With the Rebels needing an impressive run in the second half of the SEC schedule to make the NCAA tournament, losing a midweek game to a team that is 1-8 in the OVC would have been detrimental to the team’s mentality. A loss would have brought an already bad RPI down even lower. It’s Murray State, so I don’t have much to take away from beating a team like that, but the Rebels didn’t lose the game that would have made whatever is happening with this season even worse, so good job I guess.
