Today the bats came alive as Ole Miss had 20 runs.  Missouri had 14, so the game was a slug fest.  Calvin Harris hit 4 homre runs in the game for Ole Miss and set a school record.

It is disappointing to see this team's perform so badly after winning it all last year.  One thing with Bianco and his teams, there is always an excuse for poor performance.  You have to wonder why he did not replace key personnel losses with portal transfers.  He has a life time job, so he is most likely not worried.

Winning the CWS was great for Ole Miss.  They got hot at the right time and won the games they needed.  Throughout the year they were not a dominating team.  They we just a lucky team.

Now they have gone from first to worst and their worst is really bad.  Bianco has done an admirable job at Ole Miss, but it is time for the Rebels to get another head coach who will keep them at the top on a regular basis.

I do wonder if something was going on internally with the team. Garrett Wood, the senior captain of the team, batted .333 and only got 18 plate appearances. Bianco wouldn't even start him the last weekend in a meaningless series. That just seems out of sorts...
