COLUMBIA, S.C. -- After being swept at home last weekend by Alabama, Ole Miss baseball is hitting the road this weekend for a series against South Carolina.

Both the Rebels and the Gamecocks enter the weekend at 4-8 in conference play, desperately searching for some notches in the win column in the SEC. South Carolina has lost back-to-back conference series to Missouri and Georgia, and although it has a series win over Vanderbilt, it was also swept by Tennessee earlier in the year.

That's not to say that the Gamecocks aren't capable of success, however. They also have a series win over Texas on their resume, so consistency is what SC will be searching for this weekend.

Here's what to expect between the Rebels and the Gamecocks beginning on Thursday night.
