Although Ben Cleaver showed out with another masterful start for the ‘Cats on Saturday, No. 9 ranked Ole Miss downed the Kentucky 5-4 in 12 innings to take the weekend series in Lexington. With the loss (its third consecutive by two or less runs), Kentucky falls to 18-11 (5-7) and currently sit 11th in the SEC.
Unlike the opening game in which Kentucky walked it off in 10 innings, Ole Miss once again stole a game from the ‘Cats in the late innings. Kentucky stranded the go-ahead run on third base in both the sixth and eighth innings, and had the game-winning run thrown out at home in the 11th.
Ole Miss’ Luke Hill propelled the Rebels to a two-run lead with a two-run home run in the 12th, securing the series victory.
