Wyatt Short did not sleep much on Saturday night. Whether it was due to him learning hours earlier that he’d be making his first start since high school, or the fact that his arm was not not feeling 100 percent, it didn’t seem to matter. The junior right hander went 4.1 innings, and allowed two earned runs on six hits and two walks, and it put Ole Miss in a position to win its fifth consecutive game when he exited in the fifth to an ovation and a 6-3 lead.
“Honestly I wasn’t feeling my best today, but I bit the dirt and made some pitches, and guys made plays behind me, and I’m thankful for that,” Short said.
