OXFORD, Miss. — Mat Clark just did not have his stuff on Saturday. And unfortunately for No. 3 seed Clemson, Mississippi’s Doug Nikhazy did.
The Rebels’ lefty limited the Tigers to four hits in eight innings of work as No. 1 seed Ole Miss downed the Tigers 6-1 in Game 4 of the Oxford (Miss.) Regional at Swayze Field in Oxford.
It was the second straight game Nikhazy pitched eight innings. He gave up just three hits and did not yield a run against Texas A&M in last week’s SEC Tournament.
With the loss, Clemson will play Jacksonville State Sunday at 3 p.
