No. 3 Ole Miss uses big ninth inning to defeat No. 15 Florida, ties series

The Ole Miss baseball team quickly avenged their lone blemish in conference play on Friday.

After losing 4-1 to No. 15 Florida in Thursday’s series opener, the No. 3 Rebels bounced back 24 hours later with a 8-2 win to tie the series up at Florida Ballpark in Gainesville, Fla.

A two-run home run by Jacob Gonzalez and a four-run ninth inning propelled the Rebels (21-5, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) to victory after the bats fell silent in the middle innings.

The Gators ( 17-9, 4-4) tied the game in the seventh inning with a solo home run from center fielder Jud Fabian.
