Ole Miss Run Rules LSU To Claim Series

The reigning national champions are a bad baseball team. LSU (22-14, 6-8) have dropped a crucial road series to Ole Miss (25-11, 7-7) in humiliating fashion, losing 12-2 in seven innings. The Tigers scored the first two runs of the game, and surrendered all 12 Rebel runs over the final three innings, including seven in a humiliating sixth inning.

William Schmidt got the start for LSU and while he actually had a no hitter through three innings, he completely imploded in the fourth and wouldn’t make it out of the inning. Schmidt cruised through the first and third innings, but ran into a bit of trouble in the second thanks to a pair of walks; Schmidt got through the first three innings unscathed, but the house of cards that was his start came crashing down in the fourth. Schmidt issued back to back walks to open the fourth, and mixed in a pair of wild pitches that gave Ole Miss runners on the corners with nobody out.

Hayden Federico hit a sac fly to right field that got Ole Miss on the board, Brayden Randle singled to right field to tie the game, and the dam broke when Austin Fawley took Schmidt deep to left field to give Ole Miss a 4-2 lead. Schmidt gave up one last double before being yanked for Cooper Williams who didn’t fare much better. Williams walked the first batter he faced, and opened the fifth inning with a single, hit batter, and an RBI single that upped Ole Miss’ lead to 5-2.

Williams got the next two batters out before handing the ball to Zion Theophilus. And then the sixth inning. Oh boy the sixth inning.
