The Ole Miss Rebels' bats came alive in a 10-2 victory over the Bears of Central Arkansas. This victory comes on opening day of the expanded and renovated Oxford-University Stadium at Swayze Field. The Rebels were down 2-0 early, but Jake Morgan's (2-0) relief performance allowed the Rebels (and Jake) to get the win and Dustin Ward (0-1) to get the loss.
RedSoloCup player of the game:
-Jordan Henry's single that scored two to tie the game and started a rally that gave the Rebels the lead for good. Congrats to Jordan.
Random Notes:
-Hightower saw his first defensive action as a Rebel filling in for Basham.
-Nathan Baker went 4 and 2/3 and only allowed 2 earned runs
I would provide more stats, but the stat-tracker was absolutely horrible for the game. It looked like something from a gameboy game from the early 90s. Check olemisssports.com later tonight where they should have the stats posted.
The Rebels take the field tomorrow at 3 p.m. to face UCA once again. Brett Bukvich is slated to start.
