CBSB: Ole Miss, Southern Miss make schedule changes ahead of potential severe weather

posted in: Mississippi News | 0

Ole Miss and Southern Miss athletic officials are heeding the warning of forecasters projecting severe weather this weekend by reconfiguring the schedule for their home baseball series.

No. 13 Ole Miss will now begin their first SEC series of 2025 at 2 p.m. rather than the originally scheduled 6 p.m. Gates will open at noon for those attending the matinee affair between the Rebels and No. 3 Arkansas.

In Hattiesburg, No. 22 Southern Miss will open their Sun Belt conference slate against Old Dominion at the originally scheduled time of 6 p.m. The pair will play under the lights on Saturday, now a 7 p.m. first pitch time, to avoid anticipated weather in the afternoon. Sunday’s contest was also bumped up to 12 p.m.

Mississippi State officials announced Thursday evening that no schedule changes have been made as of yet, but decision makers are closely monitoring the situation.
