The Rebs drop to the losers bracket, where the odds are overwhelmingly against them.
Well that's not how we figured Ole Miss would start the Oxford regional. Thanks to inopportune bats and a mid-innings collapse from reliever Brady Feigl, the Rebs suddenly find themselves in the losers bracket after dropping a 10-inning game to four seed Utah, 6-5.
The Rebs now have to play Tulane, which lost to Boston College earlier in the afternoon, in an elimination game at 1 p.m. CT on Saturday. Over the last four seasons, only one team has lost the first game of its regional and advanced to the supers—the 2014 Louisiana-Lafayette club that Ole Miss beat on its way to Omaha.
