Update 7:17 a.m.

About to get on the road from Brentwood. I will not about around for Game 3 as the Rebels go for their first win in the series.

Due to some technical difficulties last night, this video did not get posted, but here are a couple of Ole Miss players talking about Friday's loss.

Mike Mayers

Sikes Orvis

FINAL: Vanderbilt 6, Ole Miss 2

Offensive woes continue, and the Rebels will turn to R.J. Hively to try and avoid the sweep Saturday.

Pitching was not the problem. Mike Mayers threw six scoreless, scattering three hits, before leaving the game after giving up a leadoff single in the seventh. He gave a winning effort.

The Rebels got Tanner Mathis to third base in the first but didn't get him home. They didn't get to third base again until the eighth inning when Sikes Orvis delivered a pinch-hit RBI double.

I lost count on the runners in scoring position stat when I didn't take my book down to the field, but at the time the Rebels were 1-for-7 in that category.

Lots of opportunities, as the Rebels stranded 12. Mathis, Andrew Mistone, Orvis and Blake Newalu had doubles.

Vanderbilt again put pressure on the Rebels on the bases with three steals. Two errors contributed to Vandy's four-run fourth. When Vandy attempted a double steal, Will Allen's throw went into left field, and when Mathis retrieved it, his throw went over second base.

Vandy went into the bottom of the seventh in a scoreless game and left with four runs on four hits and two errors.

***

About 40 minutes out. Rebels need a win to have a chance to win the series tomorrow.

Vandy will complete the sweep! However, Old Meth can get Vandy back by breaking their SEC mark for consecutive SEC football losses. 102 days until kickoff and the quest for 22 begins. If Old Meth gives it their worst then they can get to 22 consecutive SEC losses by season's end.

The Ole Miss Baseball team going out the back door of SEC race. Miss State, Vandy and Gators are HOT and heading in the correct way, to the Top, while the other teams just set back and march time State Bulldogs are in a two-way tie with Arkansas for second place in the Western Division and a three-way tie for fifth place with Vanderbilt and Arkansas in the overall league standings. The win guarantees MSU a .500-or-better season inside league play for the first time since a 15-13 conference finish in 2007. The way I see the overall SEC at present, but it will change after the final games of regular season are played today.

SC 18-10

LSU 18-11

Gators 18-11

KY 18-11

MSU 15-13

Ark 15-14

Vandy 15-14

GA 14-14

OMiss 14-15

AUB last

SO the outcome of today's game will tell us the full story and the SEC tournament Seed rankings.
