This is where the rubber meets the road for Ole Miss Rebels baseball.

Mike Bianco's squad opens play in the Southeastern Conference on Friday at home against the No. 20 South Carolina Gamecocks, and it looks to keep its foot on the gas after winning 11 of its last 12 games and seven in a row.

A slight mist is falling in Oxford with about 30 minutes until first pitch, but baseball is expected to be played after a rainy day in North Mississippi. Follow along below for live updates between the Rebels and Gamecocks.
