The No. 2 Ole Miss Rebels remained unbeaten in the NCAA Tournament with a 6-3 win over No. 1 Nebraska on May 31, extending their perfect streak to two games in the Lincoln Regional.
A Rain‑Delayed Thriller Resumes
The contest began on May 30 but was halted before the ninth inning due to rain and lightning. When play resumed at noon, Ole Miss held a 6-3 lead and Nebraska failed to score in the final frame.
Taylor Rabe’s stellar pitching combined with late‑inning hitting gave the Rebels the edge, while the Cornhuskers, despite a strong season, could not mount a comeback.
What’s Next for Ole Miss
Ole Miss will now face the winner of the Nebraska‑Arizona State elimination game, scheduled for May 31 at 7 p.m. A victory would propel the Rebels into a super regional, while a loss would force them into a decisive rematch on June 1.
The stakes are high for both teams. Nebraska, sitting at 43‑16, and Arizona State, the Sun Devils, are battling for the final spot, making the upcoming matchup a pivotal moment in the regional bracket.
