Rebels win 1-0 pitchers’ duel to start SEC play
Cold weather and cold offenses combined in a 1-0 Ole Miss win over Alabama on Friday night to open SEC play.
Friday night starter Will Ethridge threw six innings of three-hit, scoreless ball and struck out nine while also walking four. Ethridge attributes his four walks to a loss of command early-on in the game.
“Arm felt great,” Ethridge said. “I just lost command. I was trying to be too perfect out there in the first two innings and walked some guys, and that’s just not me. I just need to go back there and pound the strike zone and fill it up and just keep it rolling like it was from the third (inning) on.”
