Ole Miss center fielder J.B. Woodman has one of the strongest arms in college baseball, and he put it on full display Thursday night. The junior gunned down not one, but two LSU runners at the plate to keep LSU from scoring, and it proved invaluable as the Rebels held on for a 7-6 win.
The first one came in the fourth inning with the game tied at four. Woodman fielded a Jake Fraley single and released a ball on a string that beat Cole Freeman to the plate for the second out of the inning.
“I knew on the first one the guy got a bad jump,” Woodman said.
