Eighth‑Inning Heroics
The eighth inning proved decisive when Will Furniss and Tristan Bissetta delivered back‑to‑back home runs, turning a tied game into a 4‑2 lead for Ole Miss.
Earlier in the sixth, Judd Utermark’s double drove in the Rebels’ first two runs, setting the stage for a comeback.
Taylor Rabe dominated on the mound, scattering eight strikeouts over seven innings and earning his fifth quality start of the season.
Bullpen Closes It Out
Reliever Walker Hooks recorded his ninth save of the year, the most by a Rebel since Brandon Johnson in 2022, preserving the narrow margin.
JP Robertson secured the win, improving to 5‑1, while a late defensive gem by Utermark sealed the victory.
The win propels Ole Miss to Omaha, where they will meet their next opponent in the College World Series, marking the program’s first appearance since 2022.
