The Ole Miss Rebels took on No. 10 Arkansas in Fayetteville this weekend. Fresh off a 4-2 loss to in-state rival Mississippi State last Tuesday, the Rebels bounced back with a 2-3 series win over the Razorbacks.
Head coach Mike Bianco gave James McArthur the game-one start on Thursday, and the right-handed sophomore did not disappoint. McArthur gave up one hit, a solo shot from the Razorbacks’ Jard Gates, over eight innings of work as the Rebels held Arkansas to a single run on the night.
The Ole Miss offense came alive Thursday night as the Rebels racked up four two-run dingers en route to their eventual 9-1 victory.
