A Good Weekend In Baseball

The Ole Miss baseball team wrapped up a solid series this weekend with a dominating 12-1 win over Auburn. The Rebels took the series from the Tigers by winning 2 of three with a 14-2 on Saturday game one before a defeat in the second game 6-2. Aside from the second game on Saturday the bats were very hot with somewhere around 38 hits this weekend. The only problem was the amount of runners we left on on Saturday.

The pitching was pretty good. A very solid full game performance by Craig Rodriguez was a boost to this pitching staff that has had its ups and downs. I believe Craig has solidified his mark as a weekend starter. Lancy Lynn pitched well for six innings on Sunday.

A sweep would have been great, but a series win would was a must. This season is turning out to be a weird one as far as SEC ball is concerned. One week a team will sweep and be on top, the next they are back down at the bottom. This is why SEC baseball is the best in the nation. The Rebels will travel to Jackson for the annual Mayor's Cup this week before traveling to Columbia to take on a very good South Carolina team, and they must avoid a sweep this Easter weekend. Here is a look at the SEC standings:

South Carolina 9-3
