Brendan Lawson's eighth-inning grand slam felt like the start of a turnaround for Florida baseball, but Ole Miss walked it off shortly after.

The No. 15 Ole Miss Rebels rally late as they clinch their second straight series victory in SEC play after defeating the Florida Gators 10-9 at Swayze Field on Friday afternoon. It did not take long for action to commence as Rebels starter Riley Maddox quickly worked his way out of a jam in the top half of the inning to set the tone to get the Game 2 matchup going.

After being swept twice to start SEC play, Florida desperately needs two wins this weekend in Oxford against the Ole Miss Rebels.
