Welcome to Swayze Field here in Oxford, Mississippi,
where the SEC Network proudly presents game
one of this midweek series between ULM and Ole Miss.
The rebels are rolling.
They're undefeated.
Yeah, that offense off the charts.
And here is Hunter Elliott, the true freshman from Tupelo,
Mississippi, makes his career start tonight for Mike Bianco.
He has been terrific in his first two relief appearances.
Definitely.
And Hunter has maintained that same aggressive mindset
that he had as a reliever this year,
and apply that to a starting role.
If he can tunnel throw his fast ball for strikes
and then channel that breaking ball off of it,
he'll have real success here tonight.
A line single up the middle.
They will send Henry home.
And Mason Holt delivers a two-out RBI single
to score Henry.
There goes the runner,
and strike three as Elliott strikes out Cato.
He strikes out the side but holds RBI single
has given the War Hawks the early lead.
And he sends one to deep left center field.
It's going to be playable.
But it will be deep enough to score Elko,
and Van Cleve has just driven
in the first run of the night for Ole Miss.
With his teammate Peyton Chatagnier.
And there's ball four.
And Burford gets the run batted in the easy way,
as McCants will trot home.
It's two- one Ole Miss.
Which is really tough on pitchers
if you're not able to put away.
And there's TJ McCants base it into center field.
That will score Gonzalez.
And another strikeout for Hunter Elliott.
Nine and counting for the true freshman.
And Burford spanks one to left center field,
and he's going to have his fourth sack fly of the year
as Van Cleve scores from third.
Bench puts one in play, and the draw in the infield,
it gets past Deaville
and that will score Alvin Harris during pre-game.
There's a one hopper, nice play by Burford.
The long throw to first is in time.
The throw back over to third
is not in time as Freeman advanced to third,
but it's an RBI ground out for Deaville.
A hot ERA.
McCants sends one to right field,
but it will be playable for the tract,
and then it did carry.
It's out of here, for a home run for TJ McCants.
Henry looked like he was camping out in right field,
he was going to make the catch at the wall,
but the ball just kept on carrying.
Yeah, the right fielder kept on backing up,
was feeling the wall.
After all that tweet earlier today,
and Dougherty with the strikeouts on Washburn.
How about the relief job by Jack Dougherty.
He's reached base all three times.
That one, oh, what a snag by the first baseman Artzberger,
and he can't get to the base in time,
so McCants gets an RBI single.
There goes Holt, and strike three called.
Dougherty has done it again.
He strikes out the side.
He's got five Ks through two innings.
Taking all the way, and Gonzalez walks.
So he gets his sixth run batted in of the year as Harris scores.
There's ball four, and the merry-go-round
continues as Burford scores
and Grant gets an RBI, first of the night.
Elko 0 for 2 with a couple walks tonight.
Bounces one to the right side.
The flip to second, the relay is in time,
so a 4-6-3 double play.
It would be more precise with that fastball.
And a swing and a miss,
kind of fitting that the Rebels strike out
Washburn to end the ball game.
17 Ks on the night for the Ole
Miss pitchers, and Ole Miss wins it ten to two,
and that will do it for our coverage tonight.
So for Billy Kirkpatrick and our outstanding crew,
I'm Will Kollmeyer saying so long from Oxford.
Ole Miss now 7 and 0 on the year,
with a 10-2 win here tonight.
