OXFORD, Miss. – Little Rock hung around with 18th-ranked Ole Miss through six and a half innings, but a four-run second and a four-run seventh did in the Trojans, who drop a 9-4 decision at Swayze Field Wednesday afternoon.
The Trojans were able to pound out 11 hits against the Rebels, but the Ole Miss pitching staff once again confounded Little Rock hitters all evening, combining for 19 strikeouts for the second-straight outing against Little Rock.
Ole Miss jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two, courtesy of a four-run second off five hits. Little Rock would answer in the top of the third, beginning with a leadoff double from Miguel Soto, followed immediately by an RBI single from Jorden Hussein.
