Ole Miss baseball cancels Tuesday matchup in preparation for inclement weather

posted in: Mississippi News | 0

Ole Miss has announced that Tuesday’s midweek baseball game is being canceled due to weather concerns.

The Rebels were scheduled to welcome Southeastern Louisiana to Swayze Field at 6 p.m., but the show will not go on as a result of inclement conditions. Recent forecasts from the National Weather Service have Oxford under a wind advisory on Tuesday night with gusts expected to reach a high of 35 miles per hour. A strong likelihood of thunderstorms touching ground is also anticipated.

According to the Ole Miss Athletics Department, the contest will not be rescheduled for a later date.

The No. 17 Rebels will, however, return to action on Wednesday. Murray State will make the trek to Oxford University Stadium for a 4 p.m. first pitch. The game will be aired on SEC Network+.

As things stand, Mississippi State has yet to announce if anticipated incoming weather will alter the Bulldogs’ Tuesday afternoon matchup versus No. 20 Southern Miss.
