PREVIEW: Ole Miss Baseball Opens Season in Honolulu vs. Hawaii
Baseball season is finally here, and the Ole Miss Rebels are set to begin their campaign in paradise this weekend against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.
The Rebels failed to crack the D1Baseball Preseason Top 25 entering the year, but they will look to reverse their fortunes from a season ago, one that ended without a trip to the SEC or NCAA Tournament.
Ole Miss' pitching rotation has also experienced a shakeup in the preseason with presumed Friday night starter Xavier Rivas succumbing to a UCL injury, one that will keep him sidelined for the entire 2024 campaign.
Only one game of this opening series will be available for streaming. The rest will be available on the Ole Miss Radio Network, but The Grove Report will cover the action throughout the weekend. Here's what you need to know about the Rebels and Rainbow Warriors in Honolulu.
