Ole Miss Baseball had no Business Beating Mississippi State on Sunday

These types of wins just don't happen.

This past Saturday, the Ole Miss Rebel baseball team kept its postseason hopes alive by sweeping their series against the archrival Mississippi State Bulldogs. The Rebels, by what seemed to be a set of miracles, came from behind, erasing a five run deficit in the ninth inning (!) to tie the game and force extras. The Rebels got the win, 8-7, on a walkoff RBI single in the bottom of the 10th.

Ole Miss somehow won, but Ole Miss was going to lose that game. Just consider the situation the Rebels were in:

  • Bottom of the 9th
  • Down by five

There, that's all you really need to know to think "yeah, there's no real reason to think they're winning that one.
