Well.
It was bad until it wasn’t.
Texas A&M starter John Doxakis took a no-hitter into the 9th inning, but Aggies’ head coach Rob Childress elected to replace him with a bullpen arm and that was all she wrote. Thomas Dillard broke up the no-no with a lead off single and despite a failed sacrifice bunt attempt by All-SEC short stop Grae Kessinger and a ground out by Tyler Keenan, Cole Zabowski came through with the go-ahead RBI double to win it for the Rebels (35-24).
Ole Miss starter and All-SEC Freshman Doug Nikhazy gave Mike Bianco eight innings of masterful baseball, scattering three hits, striking out two, and dancing around four walks to improve to 7-3 on the year.
