The Ole Miss Rebels came away with their first SEC series victory over the weekend after sweeping the Missouri Tigers with the latest rankings via D1Baseball placing Mike Bianco's crew at No. 15.

The move up in the poll comes fresh off of an impressive weekend for the Rebels after outscoring the Tigers 40-24 in a competitive three-game stretch

All three games between the two squads were intense back and forth battles in which the Rebels found a way to control late in the matchups.

Ole Miss was led by a high octane offense all weekend; specifically the SEC Player of the Week in Isaac Humphrey.

Humphrey paved the way for the offensive show that the Rebels put on batting .389, slugging 1.167, racking up 21 total bases, smacking four home runs and driving in 13 RBI on the weekend.

Humphrey was not alone as the Rebels totaled 27 runs outside of the Louisville transfer with Ole Miss totaling six home runs on the weekend with 42 hits across the three games. The Rebels' SEC Player of the Week launched a pair of homers on his own.

While the Rebels certainly finished the week hot; they took a midweek loss to newly ranked No. 13 Southern Miss Golden Eagles in the C Spire Pearl Showdown following multiple untimely strikeouts and double plays left Ole Miss stranded for the loss.

Ole Miss is one of 10 Southeastern Conference members to be named in this week's Top-25 Poll with the conference continuing to handle business in 2025.
