HOOVER, Ala. -- The best swings Ole Miss got on University of Arkansas closer Matt Cronin were foul balls.

Cronin struck out all four batters he faced to cap the No. 5 Razorbacks' 5-3 victory over the No. 23 Rebels on Wednesday in the SEC Tournament at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium.

The Razorbacks (41-15) advanced to the winners bracket and will play No. 6 Georgia (43-14) at 4:30 p.m. today.

Arkansas was clinging to a 4-3 lead with two outs in the top of the eighth inning, and Ole Miss had the tying run on third base and go-ahead run on first when Cronin came in and struck out pinch hitter Chase Cockrell on three pitches.
