The 2022 Men’s College World Series matchup is set, as Ole Miss avenged a heartbreaking Wednesday night loss to SEC West rival Arkansas with a grinder of a 2-0 win last night.
After the first 11 games of the eight-team MCWS provided nothing but drama-less routs, the past two contests between the Rebels and Razorbacks were both tense from the first pitch to the last. For Mississippi, every one of the pitches yesterday was thrown by ace Dylan DeLucia, who tossed a complete-game shutout with seven strikeouts and only four hits surrendered.
Ole Miss managed only seven hits over eight innings against Arkansas starter and postseason all-star Connor Noland, but two of those hits, both hard grounders that found their way through the infield, drove in one run each and that was enough.
The Rebels move on to face Oklahoma in a best-of-three title bout that begins tomorrow night at 6:45 on WESB Sports
