Pull It Together

This baseball team is really upsetting me. Somebody on this team has got to show some leadership. Losing to Murray State is inexcusable. The team won one game prior to coming to Oxford. These guys have built a fan base and there is more enthusiasm with the fans concerning baseball right now than any other time in school history. I am not saying people are going to start jumping ship by all means. But these guys have got to pull it together. We know the talent is there, we saw how they performed last year. I do not know if they are cocky, over-confident, or what is going on. But someone on this team has got to step up and get this team to play consistent every time they step on the field.

OXFORD, Miss. - The bats came alive late, but it wasn't enough to push the 19th-ranked Rebels over the top as Ole Miss (9-4) fell 7-6 to Murray State (2-9) on Wednesday to close out a 13-game home stand for the Rebels.
Nick Hetland (1-1) suffered the loss for the Rebels as he gave up one run on three hits, walking three and striking out two. Four other pitchers saw action in the game for the Rebels.
