Hello, everybody, and welcome to Oxford, Mississippi.
Sunday afternoon baseball coming your way on the SEC Network.
Number five Ole Miss looking to complete
the sweep of Charleston Southern here at Swayze Field.
Ole Miss goes to the righty Drew McDaniel here on Sunday.
The junior from Lafayette, Louisiana, five and two in 2021.
Yeah, Drew McDaniel is a veteran guy now
in this Ole Miss rotation.
A guy that, for me, what I'm looking for from him,
he's got a four-pitch mix.
A fastball that can run in the mid-90s.
He needs to control the zone.
He's got a career three-to-one strikeout-to-walk ratio,
and he's going to want to improve on that.
But for me, the biggest thing for McDaniel,
the analytics are off the chart.
He needs to show great mound presence
and just attack these Charleston Southern hitters.
Potentially an example of that right here.
Ball out to the wall in right and Connor Carter puts the Bucs
on the board first with a solo shot.
A really nice piece of hitting there by Carter.
Gets himself in a really good count.
McDaniel misses up in the zone.
He's forced to come back in the zone.
Leaves that fastball.
McDaniel will try again.
Harris catches the foul tip.
Strikeout number two for Drew McDaniel.
Mark McMillan and company going with the true freshman,
Evan Truitt, right-hander from Berlin, Maryland.
He's got a tough task trying to slow down
this Ole Miss offense, but fortunately for him,
he comes into the game not having pitched yet
and already has a one-nothing lead.
Sixty-one on-base streak.
Much like that swing right there.
No doubt about it for Kevin Graham.
Way to get on the board here in 2022.
Snaps an oh-for-eight starts
and makes it two-one Rebels here in the first.
Just like Carter in the top half of this inning,
he's able to get himself in a good count
and gets a fastball up,
and just let the power do the rest of the work.
That was an absolute no-doubter.
Comes to the plate here. Two-two pitch.
Bench towards the shortstop Basler.
Backhands it to throw to first in time.
Nice play by the freshman shortstop.
McDaniel from the windup.
Right over the heart of the plate.
Nice pitch there from the junior.
Strikeout number four to get out of the frame.
Here is Kaleb Hill, the junior from Pine Bluff,
Arkansas out of Watson Chapel.
Played 2019 with Ole Miss, making 14 relief appearances.
The six-foot-four, 210-pound lefty
comes on inheriting the runner at first,
but he's got two outs at his disposal
here in the third inning.
Elko will be off with the pitch here.
Swing and a miss. Strikeout from Kaleb
Hill to get out of the inning.
Mike Bianco going to the lefty,
Hunter Elliott, freshman from Tupelo.
Six-three, 205.

Bench in with a double here to lead off the fourth inning.
Checks Bench at third.
Grounder to short. It's going to score Bench.
Ben Van Cleve will take it. Three-one Rebels.
Me, I would have moved Dunhurst to DH
and give him an opportunity to rest some.
Nice pitch there by Hill.
Chance for two here. Gonzalez flips it to Chatagnier.
The relay to Elko. Doubles up. Charleston Southern.
Sneak an off-speed pitch by him on the three-two again.
Good piece of hitting from Kemp Alderman.
This one's going to roll all the way to the wall.
Extra bases for the sophomore.
A lead-off double here in the fifth inning.
Daniel Padysak back out there
on the bump for Charleston Southern.
He pitched yesterday in the 11-one loss.
Six-foot-five sophomore from Prague,
back out there again on Sunday.
Padysak to the plate.
Ball misplayed by Waldschmidt.
Everybody's going to be safe.
Really impressive to watch him work over the -
over these years.
This one's going to get through the infield.
One run scores. Here comes a second.
Elko gets into third,
and Kevin Graham has 103 runs batted in in his career
thanks to that two RBI single here in the bottom of the fifth.
It's five-one Rebels.
Here's a chance for the Bucs to end the inning potentially.
No, they eat it at second and another run scores.
So well executed -
Play by shortstop.
McCants gets a hold of one, out towards right,
and off the fence in right field.
Bench being waved home. Here's the throw. Now shot.
Seven-one Ole Miss on the RBI from T.J. McCants.
Harris is going to slice one out into left field.
McCants coming around from third. Cut-off man -
The Rebels here in this game.
It's eight-one here in the fifth.
Kemp Alderman, a tank to center field.
My goodness! What a swing from the sophomore.
No-doubter off the bat.
He had the double early on in this inning.
What a fifth from the boys in the powder blue.
Eleven-one, Rebels lead.
What an inning for Kemp Alderman.
To short in the fifth.
Should be retireable here as this ball is hit in the air.
Second baseman Mills fighting the sun,
makes the grab to finally get out of the inning.
Junior from Port Orange, Florida.
Junior college kid out of Northwest Florida State.
Six-one, 205 righty.
Highly thought of by this Ole Miss coaching staff.
He'll come in with a nice ten-run cushion.
The Saltillo native.
Good contact with that one out to center field.
McCants will make the grab, but it will be a sacrifice fly
for the Mississippi native Houston Parker.
The new pitcher for the Bucs is Krishna Raj,

Transferred from Tulane

Strikes out a pair of Buccaneers here
