Rebels Canโt Avoid Sweep In Conference-Opening Series
Jeff Roberson, Ole Miss Athletics
NASHVILLE, Tenn. โ Vanderbilt took game three of the weekend series with Ole Miss 7-2, and the Commodores were able to complete the sweep.
ย
The Rebels head home 14-6 overall and 0-3 in Southeastern Conference play, while Vandy is 16-5 and 3-0.
ย
Ole Miss hosts Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.ย
ย
After a scoreless first inning with both starting pitchers facing just three hitters each, the Rebels got on the scoreboard in the top of the second with a solo home run to right center by Jacob Gonzalez for a 1-0 lead.ย
ย
After a second straight three up, three down for Rebel left-handed starter Xavier Rivas in the bottom of the second, Ole Miss couldn't manage to get anything going in the top of the third.ย
ย
Rivas continued his strong performance, retiring the three Commodores he faced in the third, and the Rebels continued to lead 1-0 after three complete.
ย
Calvin Harris led off the fourth with a solo homer to right center to put the Rebels up 2-0. In the bottom of the fourth, Rivas found things rough early, walking Enrique Bradfield and hitting Davis Diaz with a pitch. After a double steal, Bradfield came home on a fly ball to center field by RJ Schreck. Jack Bulger then sent a ball out of the park to left for a 3-2 Vanderbilt lead. RJ Austin lined out to short, while Chris Maldonado flew out to right.
ย
In the fifth, the Rebels came up with nothing offensively, while in the bottom of the frame Vanderbilt did likewise as both starters were still in the contest and pitching effectively.
ย
Ole Miss' sixth was unproductive as right-hander Sam Hliboki replaced left-handed starter Devin Futrell for the Commodores, and the result was two strikeouts and a ground out.
ย
Rivas was back out to start the bottom of the sixth. Bradfield led off with a walk, and Coach Mike Bianco elected for a change on the mound. Rivas' day was done, and the Rebels brought in right-hander JT Quinn to pitch. Quinn immediately threw to first base, and Anthony Calarco tagged Bradfield out.
ย
Diaz was the next Vandy batter up, and he sent one up the middle for a base hit. Quinn threw a wild first pitch to Schreck, and Diaz raced to second. After Schreck walked to put runners on first and second and one out, Bulger was up. A hit and run worked to perfection as Bulger sent one up the middle. Diaz scored and Schreck moved to third. That was all for Quinn, and right-hander Mason Nichols entered. At the end of six innings, the Commodores led 7-2.
ย
Ole Miss had some work to do to get back in this one and just a few at-bats to do so. They never got anything going in the final frames, and the Commodores got the victory.
ย
Rivas got the loss and fell to 4-1 while Futrell was the winner and is 4-1. The Rebels managed just four hits to Vandy's six.
