Ole Miss players don stormtrooper helmet after home runs

Ole Miss baseball players are using a stormtrooper helmet as a home run prop during the 2026 College World Series, which began today with a game against No. 5 North Carolina at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska. The helmet was introduced after a series in April against Florida, aimed at sparking the team's struggling offense. Since adopting the helmet, Ole Miss has improved its record, going 20-10 and 11-8 in SEC play. The Rebels are currently seeking to extend their successful run after winning their super regional against Auburn.
