Late momentum fades as Memphis capitalizes on key innings; Ole Miss turns focus to rivalry showdown with Mississippi State
MEMPHIS, Tenn. | Ole Miss baseball saw its midweek momentum stall Tuesday night, falling 6-2 to Memphis in a game defined by missed opportunities and timely power from the Tigers. The loss splits the season series and drops the Rebels to 19-7 heading into a pivotal SEC weekend.
Despite flashes of offensive production, Ole Miss struggled to deliver in key moments. Collin Reuter led the charge, reaching base three times with two singles and a walk while scoring a run. His performance continues a strong campaign, as he extended his team-leading run total to 33 on the season.
The Rebels struck first thanks to Dom Decker, who notched Ole Miss’ first hit of the night and advanced into scoring position. Owen Paino followed with a sacrifice fly to center, bringing Decker home for an early 1-0 lead.
