Final: North Carolina 6, Ole Miss 2
Bullpen letdown and lack of clutch situational hitting doomed the Rebels.
Now they will play Troy in the first elimination game of the tournament on Sunday at 1 p.m. CT
Hudson Calhoun walked the first two and Bianco went to Hooks. Couldn't get out of the mess and North Carolina scored on a SAC-Fly and a single to take its first lead of the game.
End 7: 3-2 Tar Heels
That's it for Taylor Rabe. 5.2 innings with 7 Ks and allows only 2 hits but one of the solo HR by Owen Hull to tie things up at 1.
Hudson Calhoun now on the mound
Rebels second best scoring chance with 2 RISP and Fawley strands them with his first strikeout of the night.
Rabe back out on the mound.
1-0 Ole Miss Bot 6
End 5: Ole Miss 1, North Carolina 0
The 3rd outs of the last two innings have been huge by Taylor Rabe. He's stranded 5 and Tar Heels are 0-3 with RISP. Up to 6 Ks and 98 pitches
Hunter Elliott said yesterday that the one thing he's most proud of with Taylor Rabe is the ability to get the pitch to get off the field and out of jams. That was a prime example right there.
1-0 Ole Miss after 4 innings
