and continuing at 1:30 on Saturday and noon on Sunday. The Rebels are going with the same rotation of Elliott, Maddox and Nichols.

Eastern Kentucky is 0-4 on the year after losses to Kent State, SIU-Edwardsville and two to South Alabama. The two teams haven't played since 1997.

Game 1: LHP Hunter Elliott (1-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. RHP Ryker Walton (0-1, 3.86 ERA)

Game 2: RHP Riley Maddox (0-1, 16.20 ERA) vs. LHP Bradley Gagen (0-0, 0.00 ERA)

Game 3: RHP Mason Nichols (0-0, 9.00 ERA) vs. RHP Elijah Underhill (0-1, 8.31 ERA)

It's cold again -- really cold -- so Ole Miss needs to do what it didn't do on Tuesday which is move the baseball offensively. The roster seemed to be trying to pull everything and hit 450-foot home runs instead of just running efficient offense. Outside of Sunday, batting with runners on base and in scoring position has been a nightmare. Four games. Small sample size. All that. But that is the thing to watch.

It's possible we get a little better idea how Ole Miss wants to sort its bullpen starting today, too. The run rules last weekend kept that disjointed. The Rebels probably wouldn't hate one or two of those this weekend, however.
