SEC Network was scheduled to show the first game of the series Friday night, but the game was rained out. Following the rainout, both games Saturday were initially scheduled to be shown only on SEC Network-Plus.

But the SEC Network had a time slot open Saturday afternoon when a game between Kentucky and LSU was moved to a nighttime start due to expected rainy weather. The network picked up the first game between the Razorbacks and Rebels to fill the open time slot.

Arkansas (24-4, 7-2 SEC) and Ole Miss (23-6, 7-2) are tied for the lead in the SEC West entering the series.

Left hander Patrick Wicklander (1-1, 2.13 ERA) is scheduled to throw for Arkansas in the first game of the doubleheader. Ole Miss is scheduled to throw right hander Gunnar Hoglund (3-1, 2.47).
