No. 15 Ole Miss extended its win streak to five games Thursday night in a 7-5 victory against Florida.
The Rebels and Gators will return to action Friday for a double-header. Due to the threat of inclement weather, Saturday’s third game of the series was moved up to Friday. The first game Friday will start at 3 p.m. and the second game will start approximately 45 minutes after the end of the first game.
The Rebels got Thursday’s series-opening game started early with two runs in the first inning on a Isaac Humphrey single and Hayden Federico drawing a bases loaded walk. Florida took the lead in the third inning on a three-run home run by Ashton Wilson to left centerfield.

But the Gators’ lead wouldn’t last long. Ole Miss scored a run to tie the game on a Will Furniss sacrifice fly. The Rebels would add three more runs in the fifth inning and another in sixth inning that proved to be enough to fend off a two-run seventh inning comeback attempt by Florida.
