The No. 4 Rebels (8-2) faced off against No. 18 Maryland (4-5) on Friday afternoon and won 5-1 to start their weekend off strong at the Cambria College Classic.
There’s a lot of familiarity between the Rebels and the Terrapins, as Ole Miss defeated them last weekend 2-1 in a three-game series. So when Maryland sent out right-handed pitcher Jason Savacool, he didn’t have as much success this go around against the Rebels.
In his previous matchup with Ole Miss, Savacool was lights out, pitching seven shutout innings and striking out nine batters en route to a 9-2 victory.
