No. 6 Baseball Drops Game One Against No. 5 Tennessee Friday Night
4/11/2025 | Baseball
OXFORD, Miss. – In a high-profile pitcher's duel, it was the No. 5 Tennessee Volunteers who came away with a 3-2, victory over the No. 6 Ole Miss baseball team in game one of three Friday night at Swayze Field.
After a scoreless first, Tennessee would find the run column with two in the second. After two Volunteers reached via walks, Reese Chapman would advance both runners into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt.
One batter later, Manny Marin would sneak a double down the third base line putting Tennessee up 2-0. Ole Miss starter Hunter Elliott would strand Marin at second to end the Volunteer threat.
Luke Hill would lead off the bottom of the fourth inning with a single up the middle. He would advance to second on a wild pitch but would be left stranded after Tennessee's Liam Doyle would punch out the next three Rebel hitters.
Hunter Elliott would go four complete on the mound for Ole Miss, surrendering three runs off two hits, striking out a pair of Volunteers.
The Rebels would find the run column in the fifth. After Hayden Federico drew a one out walk, Austin Fawley stepped to the plate and would launch a two-run homer into the left field stands. Fawley's seventh home run of the year made it 3-2, Tennessee after five complete.
Mason Morris was the first and only man out of the Ole Miss bullpen and would put up zeros in five straight frames to get the Rebels to the ninth down just one run. Morris fanned a career-high eight hitters over his five innings of work.
Ole Miss would create traffic on the bases in the eighth and ninth but were unable to find the game tying run.
Ole Miss (26-8, 8-5 SEC) and Tennessee (30-4, 10-3 SEC) will play game two Saturday afternoon with first pitch is set for 4 p.m. CT on SEC Network+.
