Baseball Falls On Sunday, Takes Series Over No. 20 South Carolina

3/17/2024 | Baseball

OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss Baseball (15-6, 2-1 SEC) wrapped up the weekend against No. 20 South Carolina (15-5, 1-2 SEC) with a 6-2 loss to the Gamecocks, but still won the series winning the first two games of the weekend.

Treyson Hughes went 1-for-3 with an RBI-triple and a run scored. The Rebel bullpen did not give up a run after taking over in the fifth inning as most of the damage was done early by the Gamecocks.

Grayson Saunier got the start on the mound for the Rebels, working a clean first inning before giving up a two-RBI home run to Tyler Causey in the second. South Carolina would score one more run in that inning and three more in the fifth.

Austin Simmons was the first Rebel out of the bullpen, coming in with one out in the fifth and Ole Miss trailing 5-0. Simmons worked out of the fifth, but allowed an inherited baserunner to score, making it 6-0 USC.

Mitch Murrell came in midway through the sixth and gave up just one hit through 1.1 innings of work.

The Rebels scored their only runs of the day in the bottom of the sixth as a triple by Hughes scored Lege from first. Luke Hill brought him home with an RBI-groundout to make it 6-2.

Kyler Carmack relieved Murrell with one out in the seventh, getting a groundball for a double play in just two pitches. He would end up finishing the game, working 2.2 innings and striking out three.

Saunier took the loss to move to 3-2 while South Carolina's Matthew Becker moved to 4-0 with the win.

Ole Miss travels to Pearl, Mississippi on Tuesday to face Southern Mississippi for a midweek matchup at Trustmark Park.
