NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Brad Henderson, Justin Huisman and Michael Rosamond all hit home runs to lead the Ole Miss Rebels to a 13-5 win over Vanderbilt in a Southeastern Conference baseball game Saturday afternoon at McGugin Field in Nashville.

Henderson hit a three-run home run in the second to put the Rebels up 5-3. He finished the day 3-for-5 with five RBIs as he moved into a third-place tie with former All-American and current Arizona Diamondback David Dellucci on the Ole Miss career hit list with 247.
The Rebels scored four more in the third, highlighted by Huisman's three-run shot, to make it 9-3, and Rosamond stretched the Ole Miss lead to 11-3 with a two-run home run in the fifth.
