The Ole Miss Rebels are back in the College World Series after a three‑year hiatus, a comeback led by head coach Mike Bianco that has reignited excitement in Oxford.

Their offense has been relentless, exploding for 11 runs in the super regional finale and demonstrating a depth of talent that fans hope will translate into success in Omaha.

The pitching rotation centers on relievers Taylor Rabe, Hunter Elliott and Cade Townsend, each bringing a blend of velocity and control that has kept opponents at bay throughout the season.

Opening Match Details

The Rebels open the tournament against the North Carolina Tar Heels on June 12, a game that will be broadcast live on ESPN at 6 p.m. Central Time.

Should they win, they will face the winner of the West Virginia Mountaineers and Troy Trojans on June 14 at the same evening slot; a loss would instead set up a matchup against the tournament’s other opening‑round loser at 1 p.m. CT.

Beyond the schedule, the team is focused on defending the title they captured last year, aiming to blend power hitting with a disciplined mound strategy.
