Ole Miss baseball needed its bullpen to deliver — and they did just that.
The No. 15 Rebels (19-5) won 7-5 against Memphis (11-13) on Tuesday at Swayze Field in Oxford.
After an early home run from Campbell Smithwick and a four-run fifth inning gave the Rebels a 6-2 lead. But Memphis’ two runs in the sixth and one in the seventh made it 6-5. An insurance run from Mitchell Sanford’s solo home run in the eighth and shut-down relief from pitchers Ryne Rodriguez and Landon Waters halted Memphis.
Rodriguez and Waters both pitched the final 2⅔ scoreless innings, with Waters recording four strikeouts.
Ole Miss begins a three-game series at home against Florida on Thursday (7 p.m., ESPNU).
