Mike Bianco and Co. eye a series win at Swayze Field, stage set for a clash against the Wildcats in Game 3.
Mike Bianco and the Ole Miss Rebels will square off against the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday afternoon at Swayze Field with an opportunity to capture the program's first SEC series win. After a Game 2 win on Friday night, the Wildcats evened the series with the stage set for a Saturday rubber match in Oxford.
Kentucky's three-run fourth was aided by two Rebel errors to go along with three hits. Ole Miss starter Hudson Calhoun got two outs in the inning, but JP Robertson came in to finish things up with a strikeout of Caeden Cloud and two left on base. The Rebels' best chance for runs came in the bottom of the sixth. They did get one across on an Austin Fawley leadoff home run but stranded two more as the game moved to the seventh. In the bottom of the ninth, Ole Miss got two aboard via hit by pitch and a walk when there were two outs. But the Rebels were unable to get runs across and the two teams moved to a Saturday 1:30 p.m. series finale.Friday and Saturday's games will be streamed on SEC Network+ with Richard Cross and Keith Kessinger on the call.
