The 2022 Ole Miss baseball team returned to campus Monday, greeted by cheering fans as the National Championship trophy was carried down the Walk of Champions through the Grove.

Ole Miss (42-23) reached the top of the mountain on Sunday afternoon as they claimed the first-ever baseball National Championship in program history. The Rebels defeated the Oklahoma Sooners for the championship in back-to-back games.

Thousands of fans lined the Walk of Champions on Monday afternoon in support of the accomplishment on the diamond this season.
