In this story:


Mike Bianco and the Ole Miss Rebels will return to Swayze Field on Sunday afternoon for a Game 3 clash against the Nevada Wolf Pack with the hometown squad eyeing a sweep on opening weekend.

Sophomore Cade Townsend started at pitcher for the Rebels and arguably had his best performance during his time with the program on Saturday in Oxford.

He worked 4.2 innings, in which time he struck out a career high eight batters, allowing only one earned run and no walks. Ole Miss pitchers have totaled 25 strikeouts against the Wolfpack (0-2) in the first two games of the season, which includes double-digit strikeouts in both games thus far.

Now, all eyes are on Game 3 with the Rebels looking to sweep Nevada across opening weekend.
