Baseball Earns Midweek Win Over Memphis Behind Utermark’s Big Bat
3/3/2026 | Baseball
OXFORD, Miss. – Judd Utermark sent two balls out of the park and drove in five as Ole Miss notched a 7-1 midweek win over Memphis Tuesday night at Swayze Field.
The Tigers (3-9) would get on the board with a run in the first inning but Rebels would answer in the bottom half with Utermark's first blast of the night to make it 2-1. Ole Miss would tack on two more in the second after a bases loaded walk and a hit by pitch.
Topher Jones would tally his first home run as a Rebel in the bottom of the third to stretch the lead to 5-1.
On the bump, Owen Kelly made his third start of the season, spanning 4.0 innings allowing just one run. He fanned five Tiger hitters, stretching his punchout total to nine on the season.
Grayson Gibson was first out of the pen for and delivered 4.0 innings of shutout baseball. He allowed no runs on no hits, striking out five.
Utermark connected on his second homer of the night in the seventh to make it 7-1. It marked the sixth multi-homer game of his career as he also paced the team in rbi.
Landon Waters would relieve Gibson in the ninth to seal it for the Rebels.
Gibson's outing earned him his first career win. Memphis's Isaac Lucas suffered the loss for the Tigers.
Ole Miss (11-2) will be back in action tomorrow night against North Alabama. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m. CT at Swayze Field.
