The Rebels’ eight-game win streak came to an end Tuesday night after No. 3 Ole Miss (14-3) lost on the road to Jacksonville State (7-10) 10-6.
Though it was clearly not the Rebels’ night, the game was ugly on both sides of the ball.
Right-handed pitcher Jordan Vera got the start for the Rebels and the freshman really struggled on the mound.
In two innings of work, Vera allowed four hits, two walks and six earned runs. With no strikeouts on the night, it felt as if Jacksonville State’s hitters weren’t deceived with Vera’s pitches.
With the Rebels leading 3-0 heading into the third inning, Jacksonville State’s bats erupted and the Gamecocks scored six runs, which ultimately ended Vera’s night.
