OXFORD, Miss. -- In a game that included five lead changes, Ole Miss saw its season come to a surprising close at the hands of No. 15 Tulane in Saturday's elimination game in the Oxford Regional. A ninth inning two-run home run off the bat of catcher Jake Rogers secured the 6-5 win for the Green Wave (40-20) over the Rebels (43-19).
Rogers and Hunter Williams led Tulane offensively, collecting a combined five hits and five RBI for the Wave.
"The other teams just played better than we did, got a few more hits, a few more pitches and made a few more plays," said head coach Mike Bianco.
