Rebels Lose Early Lead in Bryan-College Station
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – After losing an early lead, Ole Miss (28-15, 10-8 SEC) had its rally fall just shy on Sunday at Davis Diamond, falling 3-4 to Texas A&M (28-13, 6-9 SEC).
Making her second start of the weekend, Anna Borgen pitched four plus innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits with four strikeouts. Ava Tillmann came out of the bullpen to finish the game, surrendering a pair of runs (one earned) in two frames with one hit allowed.
Ole Miss used a two out rally to grab the lead right from the jump, capitalizing on an Aggie error that extended the frame. Following an Abbey Latham walk to put two on, Sydney Gutierrez ripped a triple to the right-center wall, bringing home a pair to put Ole Miss up early.
The Aggies came back with some hard hit balls in the home half but the Rebel defense stood tall, tallying three quick outs, including a sensational diving catch in center by Tate Whitley, to retire the side.
However, an infield error in the fourth would come back to bite the Rebels, as Texas A&M strung together three hits to scratch two runs across to tie the game. The next frame, the Aggies put together a two-out rally, aided by a Rebel error, to score two more and take a 4-2 advantage.
Ole Miss struck right back in the sixth as Sydney Gutierrez ripped a one out single, moved to second on a wild pitch and came home on Blaise Biringer's single to right. The Rebels put two runners in scoring position in the seventh but the rally fell short, dropping the series finale.
Quick Hits
• Sydney Gutierrez played a part in all three Rebel runs, driving in the first two and scoring the third.
Up Next
The Rebels return home for their final midweek game of the season, taking on UT Martin on Wednesday at 5 p.m. CT on SEC Network +.
