Ole Miss scored eight runs in the last four innings of its series-clinching, four-hour marathon 10-8 win over Vanderbilt Sunday. It was a welcomed barrage of offense, seeing that this team had endured a stretch of nine games in which it only plated 21 runs, a little under two per game. As obviously frustrating as it is for a ball club to go through an offensive drought, it can be especially damaging to the confidence of a young team like Ole Miss. With four and often times five freshman bats in the lineup, it was particularly discouraging.
