The Ole Miss Rebels' bats came alive in a 10-2 victory over the Bears of Central Arkansas. This victory comes on opening day of the expanded and renovated Oxford-University Stadium at Swayze Field. The Rebels were down 2-0 early, but Jake Morgan's (2-0) relief performance allowed the Rebels (and Jake) to get the win and Dustin Ward (0-1) to get the loss.
Red[REDACTED]Cup player of the game:
-Jordan Henry's single that scored two to tie the game and started a rally that gave the Rebels the lead for good. Congrats to Jordan.
Random Notes:
-Hightower saw his first defensive action as a Rebel filling in for Basham.
-Nathan Baker went 4 and 2/3 and only allowed 2 earned runs
I would provide more stats, but the stat-tracker was absolutely horrible for the game. It looked like something from a gameboy game from the early 90s. Check olemisssports.com later tonight where they should have the stats posted.
The Rebels take the field tomorrow at 3 p.m. to face UCA once again. Brett Bukvich is slated to start.

Yeah... this year's stat tracker is atrocious.
If anyone went to the game, can you give the rest of us a report on the new digs?
the stadium renovations are nice- there's a lot more space which will be nice once conference games start. there are more concession stands and bathrooms. overall, the place feels more open and spacious. i'm please with what they've done- i'd be interested to hear what everyone else thinks though.
I was privileged to be in the new Diamond Club for the home opner yesterday. Standing up there gives you a great feel for how much bigger the stadium is. Also walked around the other areas and I think the field level seats along the foul lines give incredible views.
Students still have to pee in port-o-lets, which they will not have enough of once SEC play starts. I dream of the day when they tear down those damn tennis courts and expand the terrace, build and concession stand that sells bags of ice, and bathrooms.
When you watch for free, you get the port-o-pottys.
