This weekend’s stop was Oxford, MS for an SEC Opening Weekend matchup between Mississippi and Tennessee. The threat of rain and spring break for the students in Oxford kept Swayze Field from filling to capacity on Friday evening, but all of those who attended were rewarded with a great SEC opener. A pitcher’s duel for six innings and a 2-2 tie turned into a slugfest in the seventh inning as the two teams combined to score 10 runs. When the dust had settled, the Volunteers walked away 8-6 winners. Saturday’s game saw the Rebels jump out to an early lead with six runs in the first four innings and then coast to a 7-1 victory.
