The No. 22 Ole Miss Rebels return to the friendly confines of Swayze Field this weekend to welcome the No. 23 Kentucky Wildcats in hopes of bouncing back from a series loss in Knoxville last week.

The Rebels were able to return to the win column on Tuesday when they took down the Austin Peay Governors 13-9 in Oxford, but the competition ramps back up this weekend with a red hot Kentucky team coming to town. The Wildcats have won nine of their last 10 games, including taking two of three from the Missouri Tigers in Columbia last week and opening SEC play with a sweep of the Georgia Bulldogs.

Ole Miss is also shuffling its starting rotation once again this weekend, opting to place RHP Riley Maddox on Friday while shifting LHP Gunnar Dennis to Sunday afternoon. Can the Rebels push back over the .500 mark in league play this weekend?

Here's how you can watch and follow along with the action at Swayze this weekend.
