OXFORD, Miss. - Sophomore left-hander Joel Lyons and senior right-hander Ronnie Goodwin combined on a six-hitter to lead No. 10 Ole Miss (32-13-1) to a 4-1 non-conference win over Louisiana-Monroe (29-16) Wednesday evening at Oxford-University Stadium/Swayze Field.
Lyons (1-0), making his first career start, allowed one run on four hits and walked none. His twin brother, Nathan, a junior left-hander, worked seven innings to earn the win on Tuesday night against the Indians.
Goodwin allowed two hits in pitching four shutout innings to earn his second save of the year. Lyons and Goodwin combined did not walk a single Indian batter.
Ole Miss provided Lyons and Goodwin all the offense they would need in the first inning, scoring three runs on three hits. Clint Farrar led off the bottom of the first with a single and after Chad Sterbens walked, Burney Hutchinson followed with a RBI single to make it 1-0. A batter later Carl Lafferty's single scored Sterbens to put the Rebels up 2-0, and Ole Miss added its third run when Hutchinson stole home on a double steal with runners on first and third.
Jeremy Fletcher (3-3) took the loss for the Indians, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks in 6 1/3 innings. He also struck out six.
Sterbens went 2-for-3 at the plate as Ole Miss out-hit ULM 8-6.
Hutchinson was also 1-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to a career-best 10 games.
Willie Core singled in his last at-bat for ULM to finish 1-for-4 and extend his hitting streak to 30 games.
Ole Miss will return to Southeastern Conference action Friday when the Rebels open a three-game series at Vanderbilt. Game time is 7 p.m. Ole Miss enters the weekend tied with LSU and Mississippi State for first place in the overall SEC standings at 14-7.
