Arizona vs. Ole Miss Baseball: Live NCAA Scores, Updates On Opening Day

New league, high expectations for Arizona Baseball. 

Same league, same daunting challenges as ever for Ole Miss Baseball. 

That’s the backdrop in the second game at the Shriners Children’s Baseball Showdown at Globe Life Field at 4 p.m. ET which is also the 2025 season opener for Arizona and Ole Miss on Division I College Baseball Opening Day. 

The Wildcats, picked to finish second in the Big 12 and ranked No. 21 at the D1 Baseball preseason rankings, face the 2022 NCAA National Champion Ole Miss Rebels. Ole Miss enters the season unranked and picked to second-to-last in the grueling SEC that could double as league in the minors. 

Both programs have championship pedigrees. Ole Miss won its first championship just three years ago and have made the College World Series twice in the last 10 years. Arizona, meanwhile, won the championship in 2012 and was the NCAA runner-up in 2016. 

This is Arizona Baseball’s first game as a member of the Big 12 and they’ll experience it in the conference’s home away from home in Arlington where the league plays its conference tournament. Meanwhile Ole Miss plays in Globe Life Field for the second time in the five year history. 

They went 3-0 in 2021 at the State Farm College Baseball Showdown, beating three top-10 ranked team in the process (No. 10 TCU, No. 3 Texas Tech and No. 9 Texas).
