Ole Miss baseball continues its home stand with unranked Xavier, after a confident home series victory over the nation’s top team to begin the 2020 campaign. Out of the Big East Conference, the Musketeers are coming off of a series win at Memphis, and will make a similar road trip this weekend. Coming from a glorified high school stadium that seats (maybe) 500 fans, these Cincy boys are in for a culture shock. Have at ‘em, just be smart.
