Can Ole Miss salvage the series with a Sunday win over MSU?
This has been one terrible weekend
Ole Miss' Tristan Bissetta (32) bats against Mississippi State in Oxford, Miss. on Saturday, March 28, 2026. | Bruce Newman/Special to the Clarion Ledger / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Friday brought ninth inning heartache, and then Saturday brought a beatdown in Oxford as No.
6 Mississippi State stomped No. 18 Ole Miss 6-1. It all sets up a Sunday series finale with Ole Miss looking for literally anything positive to hang its hat on for the week.
The Rebels (19-9, 3-5 SEC) are now on a three game losing streak while its hated rival MSU (23-4, 5-2 SEC) is riding a seven game win streak. The offensive struggles for Ole Miss has to give at some point. Slumps don’t last forever, so maybe Sunday is the day the lineup breaks out of this terrible stretch and hangs a double digit on the board.
I wouldn’t bet my mortgage on that, but its college baseball so anything is possible. Ole Miss will send Cade Townsend in to start at 3 p. m.
