The Ole Miss Rebels baseball team clinched a hard‑fought victory in the Lincoln Regional, edging Arizona State 5‑4 in ten innings.
A decisive sacrifice fly by Dom Decker brought home pinch‑runner Cannon Goldin, sealing the win and sending the crowd into celebration.
A pivotal victory sets the stage for the super regional
The Rebels now turn their attention to the super regional, where they will meet the champion of the Auburn Regional, a contest that will conclude with a winner‑take‑all game on June 1 between Auburn and Milwaukee.
Should Milwaukee emerge victorious, the super regional will be staged in Oxford, with games scheduled from June 5 through June 7. Conversely, an Auburn win would shift the series to the host's home field.
Historical context
This marks the second consecutive super regional appearance for Ole Miss, a milestone that follows their 2022 championship run, when the team captured the national title.
Coach Mike Bianco’s steady leadership has been a constant through both runs, guiding the squad with a blend of tradition and aggressive play.
