No. 15 Rebels head to Alabama still in hunt for SEC West
A lot will be on the line this weekend when the No. 15 Ole Miss baseball team heads east to face the Alabama Crimson Tide for a three-game series beginning tonight at 6:35 at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
For Ole Miss, this weekend’s series is about trying to stay in the fight for the Southeastern Conference Western Division title. For Alabama, it’s about keeping a spot in the SEC Tournament. (May 14, 2010, Page 6A)
Pomeranz says pectoral a non-issue
The microscope is obviously on Drew Pomeranz.
Ole Miss’ junior ace showed a dip in his velocity last weekend in his start against Arkansas, which raised eyebrows not only amongst Rebel fans, but also with baseball people across the nation due to his high projections in this June’s draft. (May 12, 2010, Page 8)
Pomeranz not bothered by “nagging injury”
When you’re the face of the program, a projected top 10 pick in the upcoming MLB Draft and and your velocity takes a bit of a dip, people are going to take notice. (more…) (May 11, 2010)
No. 13 Rebels lose battle for SEC West lead
The most recent battle may have been lost, but the war for the Southeastern Conference’s Western Division title is far from over.
On Sunday, Razorback right-hander Mike Bolsinger led the charge in Arkansas’ 7-0 victory over Ole Miss.
Two days after allowing two runs in 1.1 innings of relief work, Bolsinger — who had began the year as Arkansas’ Friday night starter — was able to keep the Ole Miss bats at bay, surrendering just two hits in 8.0 innings while striking out a career-high 11 batters. (May 10, 2010, Page 1B)
Barrett back to form on Saturday
During Saturday’s 3-2 win over Arkansas, Ole Miss’ Aaron Barrett was dialed in.
The senior from Evansville, Ind., looked like the dominant right-hander Rebel fans became accustomed to earlier in the season.
After allowing 10 combined runs in his previous two outings against LSU and Mississippi State, Barrett stifled Razorback batters, allowing one run in 8.0 innings of work. (May 10, 2010, Page 4B)
Well-rounded ‘Backs invade O-U Stadium
It’s far from lonely atop the Southeastern Conference Western Division standings for the No. 13 Ole Miss baseball team.
In fact, the team they share first with, No. 14 Arkansas, will be in Oxford this weekend looking to not only separate itself from the Rebels, but also get even for last season.
A year ago, the Rebels traveled to Arkansas and swept the Razorbacks to earn a share of the SEC Title with LSU.
This weekend, expect the Razorbacks (35-10 overall, 14-7 SEC) to be looking for payback. (May 7, 2010, Page 6A)
OM’s Huber earns honor from SEC
Ole Miss closer Brett Huber was named the Southeastern Conference’s Pitcher of the Week Monday by the league office.
Huber, a redshirt freshman from Belleville, Ill., not only picked up the win on Tuesday against Murray State, but he also played a pivotal role in the Rebels’ first three-game sweep at Mississippi State since 1972, picking up saves on Friday and Saturday. (May 4, 2010, Page 8)
Pomeranz bounces back after rough outing
One week ago Ole Miss pitcher Drew Pomeranz struggled mightily in his Friday night start against LSU, walking a career-high nine batters.
By his own admission, something was off but he just wasn’t sure what that something was.
Then, during the second inning of the Rebels’ 4-2 win at Mississippi State on Friday he realized what was wrong. (May 3, 2010, Page 2B)

The No. 16 Ole Miss Rebels will be looking to take their seven-game winning streak on the road beginning tonight when they travel to Starkville to face in-state rival Mississippi State.
