re: SEC Thursday Baseball - Regular season ends Saturday

Texas A&M (33-16, 17-10 SEC) at Ole Miss (31-19, 13-14 SEC)
This is a close series with Ole Miss holding a slim 4-3-1 series lead since Texas A&M joined the league in 2013. The Aggies snapped a three series win streak by the Rebels last season and look to win back-to-back series over Ole Miss for the first time. The Rebels have won the last two series and Swayze Field. The teams split a weather-shortened series in Oxford in 2015. Ole Miss owns the only sweep in the series in 2019 in Oxford.

Texas A&M has won its last six SEC series and is 10-3 in league play since starting 7-7. The Aggies, who have won three straight conference games and six of seven, won 10 SEC home games for the second time since joining the league (11-4 in 2016). Its 17 SEC wins marks the third highest in school history (18 in 2015, 20 in 2016). This is the first time since 2015 Texas A&M closes SEC play on the road. The Aggies, who have played three of their last four series at home, have won their last two road series over Georgia and Vanderbilt. They are seeking to win four SEC road series for the first time since 2016.

Ole Miss has won its last six SEC games, including a pair of sweeps over Missouri and LSU. It hasn’t won seven in a row since 2010. The Rebels won three SEC road series for the first time since 2014. A series win will mark four straight seasons of finishing .500 or better in conference play. Ole Miss is finishing SEC play at home for the first time since 2015 and only the second time in the last 11 seasons.
