OXFORD, Miss - The pitch came out of Winthrop's Colton Rendon's hand at 81 mph with the intention of breaking but hung as it floated towards Cole Zabowski at the plate. The sophomore first baseman turned and crushed it into the right field bullpen for a three-run shot in the second inning to put Ole Miss on the board in its 8-1 win over Winthrop on Saturday night.
"Once the right fielder got close to the wall I knew it had a chance," Zabowski said. "I was just trying to go up there, do some damage and get the job done.
