Weil BATON ROUGE, LA - An Ole Miss team battling for their postseason life came to Alex Box Stadium this weekend and played some of their best baseball of the season winning the series, defeating LSU in both games, one and two. The Tigers fell to the Rebels in game one, 5-3 which began on Friday night, but was called in the bottom of the third inning until Saturday morning due to inclement weather. At the time, Ole Miss held a 4-2 lead. Game one resumed at 11:00am Saturday morning with Ty Floyd taking the bump for the Tigers in place of Ma'Khail Hilliard who started the contest on Friday night. Floyd pitched six innings, giving up one run on two hits while striking out three. Friday night's starter for Ole Miss, Dylan Delucia returned to the mound on Saturday morning throwing seven innings while giving up three runs on three hits. Brandon Johnson recorded the save for the Rebels. Ole Miss embarrassed the Tigers in game two on Saturday afternoon blasting them, 11-1. The Rebels pounded out twelve hits, including four home runs on the day. LSU used six pitchers in the contest with Devon Fontenot (2-2) taking the loss. Ole Miss also took advantage of three costly LSU errors. “We just couldn’t get enough going on offense in both games, and we didn’t pitch very well in the second game.” LSU coach Jay Johnson said. “All of the games count the same, so we want to go out and get that game tomorrow. We’ll get the players ready to go as best we can, and we’ll get some guys out there competing for us a little better than they did today.” With the two losses, #17 LSU falls to (33-17, 14-12) while the Rebels improve to (30-19, 12-14) The Tigers will look to rebound in game three on Sunday to avoid the sweep. First pitch is set for 1:00pm. The contest will be available on SEC Network+ Photos Below By: Jonathan Mailhes
