Tim Elko isn’t fazed by a little wind blowing in. The Ole Miss slugger crushed a ball into the left-field seats in the 2nd inning of the Rebels’ winner’s bracket game against Arkansas.
Elko extended Ole Miss’ lead to 4-1 with his 2-run home run, the longest of the 2022 College World Series so far. Elko logged a 109-mph exit velocity with a 31-degree launch angle to send the ball 416 feet.
