The Schedule Update: Ole Miss Baseball vs. LSU Tigers in Saturday SEC Tourney Clash

The Ole Miss Rebels will return to action on Saturday afternoon in Hoover Metropolitan Stadium for an SEC Tournament semifinal clash against the LSU Tigers.

After taking down the Arkansas Razorbacks on Friday, Mike Bianco and Co. are now one win away from reaching the SEC Tournament Championship Game.

It was Riley Maddox on the bump for the Rebels in order to advance after tossing a gem in 5.2 innings pitched.

“I really thought the story of the game was Riley Maddox,” Bianco said on Thursday. “He was really, really good. It’s a difficult lineup, I think, to navigate through, and he did a great job.”

Now, it's all focus shifting towards the top-ranked LSU Tigers with both programs battling for a spot in the SEC Tournament title game.

A look into the preview for Saturday's semifinal showdown, the pitching matchup and a scouting report on the Tigers.
