HOOVER, Ala. -- No. 2 seed Ole Miss shut out No. 7 seed Auburn 7-0 to eliminate the Tigers and advance to the SEC tournament semifinals.
After a two-hour, 13-minute rain delay pushed the start of the game back, Ole Miss used a brilliant start by James McArthur and three home runs to down the Tigers for the fourth time in five meetings this season. The junior right-hander went 5.1 innings, striking out six and allowing no runs on five hits and just one walk.
Thomas Dillard brought an end to an early pitchers' duel in the fourth inning.
