OXFORD, Miss. -- The Ole Miss softball team will take on the Auburn Tigers in two double-headers this weekend at the Ole Miss Softball Complex.
The Rebels (25-24, 7-13) currently lead the Tigers (22-25-1, 6-12) by one game for the eighth and final spot for the Southeastern Conference tournament. The top eight teams in the SEC advance to the tournament which will be held in Columbus, Ga., May 13-16.
