Just as the college sports world shifts its focus to baseball, Ole Miss is making some noise. The Rebels did something really ridiculous in winning a baseball game over poor Alcorn State on Wednesday night. Yes, they improved to a very solid 26-7 overall and 18-3 at home this season in running their win streak to 4.
That was all well and good, but a closer look at the score of Ole Miss’s victory on a Wednesday in early April suggested something else. It was history-making, as the Rebels started scoring runs and never stopped, rolling to a 29-1 victory that set the all-time Ole Miss record for runs in a single game.
For the Rebels, it was a continuation of an offensive showcase that began on Tuesday, when Ole Miss went to Memphis and posted a 10-0 victory. Then go back a week and there were more offensive fireworks from the Rebels, who pounded Jackson State, 18-7, on April 1 in Oxford.
Add up the totals to those 3 wins and you get a combined score of 57-8, which is unheard of, no matter that the 3 opponents weren’t from the mighty SEC.

Not to spoil the party at the school where football fans party at The Grove, but things are about to get a little tougher for the Rebels this weekend. That’s when defending national champion and SEC rival Tennessee will come to Oxford, so we’ll see how that Ole Miss offense reacts come Friday night.
