Watching the video of this home run is according to the kids these days “peak cinema” as the number of Longhorn surrender cobras in the stands ran deep and wide. Down to its last out, Ole Miss needed runs badly, and Bissetta delivered a magic moment in Austin. Moments like this are what college baseball is all about 😍 Ole Miss was one of the big winners of Friday, ending Texas’ 16-game winning streak.

Job well done and its only game one of conference play. The 464-foot blast was a no doubter, and while you’d think would have been a gut punch to end the game, credit to Texas to come back and score a run in the ninth to extend the game. Landon Waters earned the save with a shutout 11th inning against the Longhorns (16-1, 0-1 SEC).
