Ole Miss baseball splits doubleheader with Arkansas, deciding game three for No. 1 ranking

Ole Miss started hot in both games of the doubleheader against Arkansas on Saturday, but two very different endings were the result.

The Rebels (24-7, 8-3 SEC) left the bases loaded on three separate occasions in game one, and the bullpen essentially imploded en route to a 7-3 loss to Arkansas (25-5, 8-3 SEC). Game two, however, went the way of Ole Miss as the Rebels opened up a 5-0 lead and never looked back. Arkansas is scrappy and always seems to claw back into games, but the Rebs held on for a 13-6 win after tacking on five runs in the bottom of the eighth.
