Ole Miss vs. Arkansas - Game 1

[oxfordrebel]

In the bottom of the 6th Drew is doing well, and yet really laboring at the same time. Strange outing for him. 10 Ks, but 4 runs on 10 hits against him. That's a career high in hits against him. 120 pitches for his night. At times he seems like he's on the edge of falling apart, but then he gets a strikeout. Very weird outing for him. Doesn't matter. Bianco has pulled him and Barrett will come on in relief with 2 outs.

Barrett did not fare well in the 6th. He promptly throws a wild pitch (credited as a pass ball, but a wild pitch) to move the runner to 2nd, then walks the first man he sees on 4 straight pitches, then gives up a base hit and a run. He throws a wild pitch to put 2 runners in scoring position. But he gets a strike-out to preserve a 2 run lead.

On the flip side, Arkansas has been their own worst enemy committing 4 errors and giving up unearned runs to the Rebels.

This is a game the Rebels were leading 7-1 not very long ago. The momentum has shifted decidedly back to the Hogs. Rebels must score some more runs if they want to win this one.

Anyway, this is just a quick update, after 6 complete:

Ole Miss 7
pigs 5

Ballgame! Rebs 7 - Hags 5. Morgan came in and closed it down. And Bama lost. But LSU won. So, I guess we are in 2nd place at the moment? or maybe tied with Bama for 2nd.

1/2 game ahead of Bama, 1 (or is it 2?) games behind LSU. I've lost track of the kitties down south.

This was a nail-bitter to the very end. We need to come out and pound Arky the next two days.

Its could be both depending on how you look at it: 1 game behind for a share of the SEC regular season championship, 2 games behind for the #1 seed in Hoover.
