Smart Guys Win

Vanderbilt took the series against the Rebels this weekend in Nashville. Ole Miss managed to win Friday night after a pretty good performance by Mark Holliman. It was great to finally get Holliman to pitch well on Friday, hopefully he will continue this. Saturday and Sunday turned out to be dissapointing. On Saturday the Rebels were playing good until the fifth inning. Consecutive bad calls by the umpires and a home run off of Stephen Head, really shook this Rebel team up and they never could recover. As far as Sunday, Ole Miss never had it. Brian Pettway's streak of games with a hit is over, as he did not get a hit today. The only good thing out of today, was the performance by pitcher Michael Wakefield. Wakefield pitched in the ninth and struck out all three batters he faced. The Rebels really need a sweep this weekend as they face Alabama. Ole Miss will also face the Golden Buzzards from South Mississippi on Tuesday.
