The Ole Miss Rebels are coming off of a weekend series win over No. 6 Auburn and a midweek win over UT-Martin with the program now back in D1Baseball's Top 25 to close the regular season.

The Rebels opened the week against UT Martin in their final midweek matchup of 2025 where the Rebels rode the long ball on their way to an 11-5 win closing non conference play with a 21-4 record.

This led to the final weekend series of the regular season as they hosted No. 6 Auburn in a crucial series for SEC Tournament seeding.

The series opened on Thursday night where Ole Miss and Auburn were in a pitchers duel until the Rebels offense exploded in the late innings as they opened the series with a 9-2 win.

Game two was offensively heavy once again as the Rebels and Tigers both compiled double-digit runs, but despite a ninth inning push from the Tigers, Rebels pitching held on to secure a 15-11 win and close out the regular season with a top 10 series win.

Game three was more important than most decided series matchups as Auburn took away a win giving them the 6 seed in the SEC Tournament, and Ole Miss now sits as the 7 seed.

However the Rebels taking away this series win clinched them a first round bye in the tournament, allowing them to throw their regular rotation including their midweek starter.

Now, Ole Miss sits at No. 17 in the D1 Baseball Top-25:
