The No. 10 Ole Miss Rebels were defeated by in-state rival Southern Miss 7-6 Wednesday night. The Rebels (33-13) lost to the Golden Eagles (27-19) for the second time this season and used 10 pitchers in the process. Ole Miss led three different times in the game, but Southern Miss’ seven runs on 10 hits were enough to get the win. Ole Miss will face SEC foe Arkansas at home this weekend.
