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.

When he led the USM program to the NCAA Tournament this past season for the first time in 21 years, he re-established himself as a winner and repaired his image on the national scene.
On Thursday, Eustachy was rewarded with a bigger paycheck as he was introduced in Fort Collins, Colo., as the new Colorado State head coach.
