No. 18 Ole Miss will square off against the Missouri Tigers on Sunday afternoon in a Game 3 clash with the Rebels looking to pull off the sweep in Columbia.

Following a Friday night victory to open the series, Mike Bianco's group entered Saturday's showdown with the Rebels clicking on all cylinders at the plate.

Ole Miss blasted six homers on their way to a 17-10 victory to claim the SEC series, but now all focus has shifted towards Game 3.

“You’re going to have some of those games where it’s going to be a slugfest and you’re going to have to outscore the other team. If you’ve played as many games as I have in college baseball you know those games are going to come," Ole Miss outfielder Mitch Sanford said.

"And it’s going to be the flip side, where it’s super defensively. I thought we did a really good job of throwing crooked numbers up. Credit to them, but I thought we did a really nice job of attacking offensively and keeping to our plan. Put up 17 (runs), I think? That’s impressive.”
