The Ole Miss Baseball team was defeated by Southern Mississippi 10-7 in a neutral site battle on Tuesday at Trustmark Park in Pearl. The loss drops the Rebels’ record to 19-9 on the year after failing to hold on to a late lead against the No. 18 Golden Eagles.
Just couldn’t finish it
After a four-run bottom of the seventh inning gave the Rebels a 7-6 lead, Rebel closer Brandon Johnson was called upon to try and close the game with only five outs to go and a runner on third. Johnson, who had been dominant in closing to this point in the year, was unable to get the job done.
