Rebels-Eagles set for tonight at Trustmark

OXFORD — When rain forced the postponement of Ole Miss and Southern Miss’ game in Pearl on April 3, it created a bit of a scheduling nightmare for both sides.

The No. 25 Rebels and Golden Eagles now must play five games each this week, starting with today’s 6:30 first pitch at Trustmark Park, at a time neither can afford a letdown.

Ole Miss (28-16, 10-11 SEC) will start freshman Josh Laxer from Madison Central. He’s 3-0 this season with a 5.51 ERA, with three midweek starts on his record.

Levon Helm, 71, the Arkansas-born drummer and singer for The Band, the four-fifths Canadian ensemble whose music in the 1960s and ’70s, some of it with Bob Dylan, endures as a high-water mark of quintessential American rock-and-roll, died Thursday of complications from cancer at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

“Levon Helm passed peacefully,” according to an announcement on his website. “He was surrounded by family, friends and band mates and will be remembered by all he touched as a brilliant musician and a beautiful soul.”
