NEW ORLEANS - Ole Miss junior Michael Rosamond collected four hits, including a school single-game record three triples, to lead the Rebels to a 12-2 win over New Orleans in second day action at the Winn-Dixie Showdown, which is being held in the Superdome.
The victory evened the Rebels' record at 3-3. The Privateers fell to 2-3 on the season.
Holding a 2-1 lead, Ole Miss exploded for seven runs in the top of the fourth inning to take a commanding 9-1 advantage and put the game away. The Rebels scored the seven runs on seven hits in the inning. Jude Voltz led off the inning with a single, and immediately scored when junior college transfer Craig Nugen blasted a two-run homer to increase the Ole Miss lead to 4-1. The homer was the first of Nugen's Rebel career.
The Ole Miss fourth continued when J.T. Harrison reached on an error and moved all the way to third base on the play. Chad Hill's single plated Harrison for a 5-1 Rebel lead. Brad Henderson (triple), Chad Mead (double) and Rosamond (triple) then followed with consecutive extra-base hits to give Ole Miss an 8-1 advantage. John Massey then finished the scoring when his single brought Rosamond home for the 9-1 lead.
After New Orleans scored its second run in the bottom of the sixth on a Matt Matejcek homer, the Rebels added two more runs in the eighth and one in the ninth for the 12-2 final margin of victory. Freshman Adam Brown belted the first home run of his Rebel career, a solo shot in the top of the eighth inning.
Junior righthander Joey Cramblitt (1-0) picked up the win, throwing seven innings and allowing only two runs on five hits. Cramblitt struck out two and walked one. Nick Farrer (1-1) suffered the loss for the Privateers. Farrer gave up six runs on eight hits in only three innings of work.
