Ole Miss should be in the meat of their 2020 baseball season.
After a 16-1 start in a season shortened by the coronavirus outbreak, Ole Miss would currently be in the heart of an insane SEC run. Beginning last weekend with a trip to Starkville, the Rebels’ close to the regular season would have included 23 total games, 19 of them against ranked teams and nine against top-10 teams.
This weekend, they’d be welcoming No. 5 Vanderbilt to town. This obviously isn’t happening. However, the Rebels were in a shockingly similar situation 11 years ago.
On this date in 2009, Ole Miss went South to Pearl for the Governor’s Cup, taking home the Cup with an 8-1 victory over Mississippi State.
