This weekend, Ole Miss baseball will make its first College World Series appearance in Omaha since 2014, the Rebels’ sixth appearance in program history. Being the very last team to receive an at-large bid into the 2022 NCAA Tournament field of 64 teams makes this one of the greatest underdog stories of all time.
Ole Miss (37-22) defeated Super Regional host team Southern Miss (47-19) 5-0 on Sunday to extend its season and advance to the College World Series. The Rebels allowed no runs against the Golden Eagles after securing game one 10-0.
True freshman, All-American pitcher Hunter Elliot had a phenomenal performance for the Rebels, pitching almost eight innings with 10 strikeouts and a mere three hits.
