A matchup without prior meetings
Ole Miss baseball is set to embark on a road trip to Auburn, Alabama, for the NCAA Tournament super regionals, where the Rebels will square off against the higher‑seeded Tigers in a best‑of‑three series.
Auburn enters the series with a 42‑20 record, having clinched the spot by defeating Milwaukee 8‑3 in a winner‑take‑all game, while Ole Miss brings a 39‑21 ledger after sweeping the Lincoln Regional 3‑0.
The two programs did not encounter each other during the regular season or the SEC Tournament, adding an extra layer of uncertainty to the upcoming contest.
For Ole Miss, the super regional marks another chapter in a postseason résumé that includes eight super regional appearances since 2005 and a national championship earned in 2022 after a road super regional victory.
Despite having hosted super regionals in Oxford three times, the Rebels have yet to translate those home‑field opportunities into series wins, a statistic that fuels their drive to break through.
The winner of this series will advance to the College World Series, preserving the chance for both programs to extend their seasons and potentially add another chapter to their storied histories.
