No. 10 overall seed Ole Miss will look to avoid elimination on Saturday afternoon at Swayze Field against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in the Oxford Regional.

Mike Bianco and Co. are coming off of a loss to Murray State on Friday night to open NCAA Tournament with the program now looking to stay alive in the loser's bracket.

Ole Miss will send ace Hunter Elliott to the mound with the season on the line with the Rebels' left-hander ready to the opportunity to compete in postseason baseball at Swayze Field.

“It would mean a lot. I’ve never played postseason baseball in Oxford. I’ve heard it’s truly special,” Elliott said on Sunday.

“It would be one of the best environments in college baseball next weekend. But, yeah, just me being from Mississippi I grew up going to a ton of games, going to some really cool postseason games. It would mean the world for me to play in one.”

Now, all eyes are on the Elimination Game clash between Ole Miss and Western Kentucky with first pitch set for 1 p.m. CT in Oxford.
