The wait is over. Baseball has returned.
The No. 10 Ole Miss Rebels will host the Wright State Raiders of the Horizon League this weekend at Swayze Field.
Ole Miss is coming off arguably the best regular season of Mike Bianco’s career in Oxford, winning the SEC Tournament title and bagging a national seed in the NCAA Tournament. The excitement was short-lived however as they were bounced from their own regional.
The Rebels are looking to leave that memory in the rear view as Bianco enters his 19th season on the top step. He is 17-1 in season openers and returns seven players who started 48 or more games last year. Of those returning players, four were preseason All-SEC and three were preseason All-Americans.
The table is set for another fun year. The fans are certainly excited: the 7,100 season tickets sold are the most in program history.
So let’s get weird, shall we?
