Mike Bianco and the Ole Miss Rebels dropped their fifth Southeastern Conference series of the season this past weekend after suffering a pair of losses to the Oklahoma Sooners.

After dropping back-to-back games to open the series in Norman, Bianco and Co. captured a Game 3 victory to avoid the sweep on Sunday.

“Through the first two games we just gave a lot of at-bats away,” outfielder Isaac Humphrey said. “Kind of laid down and let them do what they wanted to.

"That was the big thing coming into [Sunday] was, ‘Hey, how can we be tougher at the plate? How can we grind out at-bats?’ …I thought the offense was great today.”

Despite the SEC series loss, the Rebels (33-15, 13-11 SEC) will remain in the Top-25 heading into this week's slate of games.

Ole Miss will enter the week No. 24 with a weekend series against the Mississippi State Bulldogs inching closer.

The Rebels sit at No. 17 in the latest RPI Rankings, and with a pair of SEC series remaining on the schedule against both Mississippi State (29-19, 10-14) and No. 8 Auburn (33-15, 13-11), it's crunch time.
