[Music].
We have snow in the forecast tonight
here in Oxford, Mississippi,
but we should be okay to get in game one of this weekend series.
We've got the Golden Eagles of Oral Roberts in town
to take on the second-ranked Ole Miss Rebels.
Today, it's John Gaddis getting the start for Ole Miss.
He was the transfer from Texas A&M Corpus Christi,
a second team All-Southland Conference selection a year ago.
And, Matt, he's off to a terrific start here at Ole Miss.
He skies one. Short left field. Gonzalez is calling for it.
And a very efficient top of the first for John Gaddis.
Isaac Coffey is your starter today
in game one of this series for the Golden Eagles,
the sophomore from California.
He was the 2021 Summit League Pitcher of the Year.
Elko with an 0-2 count. No problem for Tim Elko.
A base hit to left.
Mike Clement is going to ask both runners to score
that were in scoring position, and they do.
Chatagnier and Bench,
and Elko has given the Rebels the early two-nothing lead.
Slow roller charged by Breeze. Fires over to first in time.
It's going to be an RBI groundout, though,
for Alderman as Gonzalez scores.
And I wrote that one down quickly
and I said we're going to find a home for that in the broadcast.
And he loved that, too, because that's important, too.
There's a single to right by Quinn.
They're going to try to score Denny.
And the throw is off the mark
and an RBI single for Justin Quinn.
And the Golden Eagles are on the board.
Yeah, there's nowhere to put McCroskey.
Ball four and Gaddis will walk in a run as Loftin scores.
It's three-two. Can't beat that.
There's a flyball to deep left field.
Did he get enough? It's off the wall.
No homerun but extra bases for Chatagnier.
He'll stop at second.
And a two-run double by Peyton Chatagnier.
And the Rebels are up five-two.
And the Rebels have had three straight batters to reach.
There's a base hit to left by Bench.
Mike Clement has Peyton Chatagnier to score.
The throw will be in time but it bounced off the catcher Jones,
and Chatagnier scores. And it's six to two.
Quickly, to make a nice throw to third base.
And Elko, though, delivers with two outs.
Gonzalez will try to score. Here comes the throw.
It's just off the mark. And an RBI single.
How about Elko? How clutch is he?
All three RBIs here today. The three-one.
Bounced to the right side.
It will find a home out to right field.
Dunhurst scores. Alderman will score as well.
And it's a two-run single by Hayden Leatherwood.
Here's the one-two. Blind into left-center field.
That's going to be in the gap.
It's going to go all the way to the wall.
Leatherwood will score from first.
It's going to be an RBI double for Burford,
his second double in as many innings.
When it gets to dusk and you got a little cloud cover.
Elko deep to right.
Grand slam time for the second time
in as many weeks for Tim Elko.
[Cheering].
The captain playing long distance
on a Friday afternoon here in Oxford.
Tim Elko takes that fastball on the outside part of the play
in this Oppo Taco surge, but grand salami. Not bad.
Al score in your corner is 30 to three.
Uh-oh. Flyball deep left field.
I think the wind's going to knock it down.
And, oh, what a catch out at left field
by Justin Quinn. Bouncer to third.
Boy, that just handcuffed Holden Breeze.
One run will score. Two runs will score.
The throw to third is not in time.
Ground ball.
And that will do it as Ole Miss improves to 12 and one.
They've outscored their opponents
32 to three the last two games. With that, we'll put a bow
on our coverage here from Swayze Field.
So, for Matt McLaughlin
and our outstanding SEC Network crew,
I'm Will Kollmeyer saying so long from Oxford.
Once again, the final score, Ole Miss, 16, Oral Roberts, two.
