Chad Smith said he feels that he gets stronger as the game goes on, and that theory proved true Wednesday. The junior right-hander struck out a career-high nine hitters and was backed by eight runs from the Ole Miss offense in the team’s 8-3 win over Murray State on Wednesday night. It was Ole Miss’ second win in two nights and its 28th of the season.
“I think the main thing for me tonight is that I was able to locate my fastball on both sides of the plate. I’ve had a little trouble doing that recently and I think that was the difference for me,” Smith said.
