Ole Miss holds off late Vanderbilt comeback, advances to SEC Tournament semifinals

The last four innings differed drastically than the first five for Ole Miss’ in its third game of the SEC tournament, but it did enough to pull a 12-9 win out of the fire against Vanderbilt on day three of the SEC tournament.

It wasn’t easy at times, and Ole Miss (43-16) survived a four-run Vanderbilt (43-16) ninth inning, but the win earned it a birth in the semifinals in the SEC tournament on Saturday for the first time since 2010, and a day off on Friday.

“I thought we played really well tonight,” Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco said.
