The Rebels’ jump from 25 to 17 is two weeks in the making, as Ole Miss swept the then-No. 24 LSU Tigers the weekend prior, and collected a mid-week victory over then-No. 22 Southern Miss in convincing 10-3 fashion, before defeating the Vols Friday and Saturday. OleMiss dropped the series finale on Sunday, ending a nine game winning streak.

Ole Miss may have surged, but they have a tough weekend ahead, hosting the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs for a weekend set at Swayze.
Before that, however, they look for revenge in a midweek game against Murray State. The Racers claimed the Oxford Regional, defeating Ole Miss in the first and final game of the regional, before going all the way to the College World Series last season.
