After the 27th out was recorded last night by the Arizona Wildcats, punching their ticket to Omaha, Neb. for the 2021 College World Series, a resilient Ole Miss Rebels ball club could only sit in the dugout and watch.
A team that finished the year 45-22 (18-12), fourth most wins in school history, did it despite season-ending injuries to Max Cioffi, Jerrion Ealy, and Gunnar Hoglund. Despite the proverbial odds being stacked against them, they somehow figured out a way out of a tough Oxford Regional and forced a game three against the regular season Pac-12 champions and 5th overall seed.
