OXFORD, Miss. - Ole Miss will travel to Jackson, Tenn., Wednesday for a 6:30 p.m., non-conference game with the University of Tennessee at Martin Skyhawks. The game will be played at Pringles Park, the home of the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx AA baseball team in the Southern League.
The Rebels bring a 23-16 overall record into Tuesday's game after splitting four games last week. Ole Miss defeated Arkansas State 4-3 last Wednesday in its only midweek game, and dropped two-of-three to Mississippi State in Starkville over the weekend. Tuesday's contest versus UTM will be the fourth of eight straight games away from Oxford-University Stadium/Swayze Field.
Redshirt freshman right-hander Joseph Liberto is scheduled to be the Rebels' starter. Liberto is 3-0 with a 4.55 ERA in 29.2 innings pitched.
The Skyhawks are 7-29 on the year after losing three games to SE Missouri State in Martin over the weekend. UTM has dropped seven straight since returning to the diamond on April 8 following a van accident that injured nine playes and head coach Bubba Cates during the Skyhawks' return trip to campus after an 8-5 win at Ole Miss on March 28.
UT Martin has not decided on a starter for Tuesday's match-up with Ole Miss.
Following Tuesday's game, the Rebels will return to Southeastern Conference play Friday at 7:00 p.m., when Ole Miss opens a three-game series at Alabama.
