The Rebels were able to score three runs in the third inning four more in the sixth and ended the game due to the mercy rule in the eighth. Tim Elko and Hayden Leatherwood each went 2-for-3 in the Ole Miss eight-hit attack. Hayden Dunhurst scored three runs as he walked four times and was hit by a pitch.
