Coming off a series loss to No. 3 Arkansas, Ole Miss looked to rebound against Southern Mississippi Tuesday night in Pearl, Miss. The Rebels’ lack of offense and poor pitching led to a third straight loss.
Southern Miss starter Matthew Adams retired the first two Rebel batters before Mitchell Sanford roped a triple down the right field line. The cleanup hitter, Ryan Moerman, stepped up to the plate and smoked a ball deep to left field, but Golden Eagle fielder Davis Gillespie robbed Moerman of a homer and kept the game scoreless.
Rebel starter Cade Townsend walked the lead-off hitter.
