JACKSONVILLE, Ala. – Ole Miss Baseball (14-3) opened their second road trip of the season with a 10-6 loss at Jacksonville State (7-10) Tuesday night. It was their first road loss of the year and just their third loss overall.
Ethan Groff opened the game with a double off the right field fence, but that would be the only hit for the Rebels until the third inning.
Ethan Lege got things started in the third with a single up the middle and Groff brought him home with his second double of the night. Kemp Alderman drove home Groff with a single to center field to make it 2-0 Ole Miss.
The Rebels would add one more run in the inning as Alderman stole second base and then came home on a double down the right field line from Calvin Harris. When it was all said and done, Ole Miss had scored three runs on four hits and led 3-0.
The Gamecocks answered back immediately in the bottom half of the inning, exploding for six runs. They scored four of those runs before the Rebels were able to record an out, spelling Ole Miss starter Jordan Vera after just two-plus innings of work. Brayden Jones would come in from the bullpen with the bases loaded and no outs and record all three outs by the way of the strikeout, but not before the damage was done. Vera would be charged with all six runs in just his second career start.
Jones would end up working 2.1 innings and striking out a career-high four batters while allowing just two hits.
