Nikhazy’s gem helps send Ole Miss to Oxford Regional championship

The legends of Doug Nikhazy and Tim Elko continued to grow on Saturday.

In what could be considered the most important game of the Ole Miss baseball team’s season, its ace and captain came through when it mattered. The Rebels defeated Florida State 4-3 in the winner’s bracket game of the Oxford Regional, sending the number one seed to the championship round and a win away from the Super Regionals.

Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco made the decision to hold Nikhazy until Saturday with Derek Diamond getting the start in the Rebels regional opener on Friday.
