With hosting chances still up in the air, No. 18 Ole Miss needed to bolster their resume and winning the series against No. 2 Vanderbilt would do just that.
In Sunday’s rubber match, the Rebels used a 10-run third inning to defeat the Commodores 13-10 and get a crucial Southeastern Conference series win at Oxford-University Stadium.
Coming off Saturday’s loss where Jack Leiter held the Rebel bats to two hits, those same bats exploded for 12 hits and four home runs in the series finale.
After Vanderbilt got on the scoreboard first with two runs batted by first baseman Dominic Keegan with a double in the top of the third inning, the Rebels (36-15, 16-11 SEC) had their first 10-run inning since April 26, 2018 against LSU.
