At the end of a series defined by back-and-forth offensive explosions, No. 5 Ole Miss baseball defeated No. 12 Texas A&M 7-6 on Saturday to take the three-game road series 2-1 and improve to 22-3 on the season.
Entering the early-weekend series, Ole Miss skeptics pointed to a lack of strong early-season opponents and questioned the team’s ability to step up against other top SEC teams. That doubt was quickly silenced Thursday, when the Rebels took a tense Game 1 pitchers’ duel in comeback fashion.
Through the first seven innings, A&M’s Stephen Kolek was dominant and struck out 10 Rebel batters.
