Ole Miss entered Wednesday’s matchup against Murray State with a record of 10-1 while also being the No. 17 team ranked in the country. The lone loss was to Texas early in the season, but the Racers entered this matchup with an undefeated record.
The Rebels were able to win an absolute thriller at home, coming back from a 3-run deficit in the 8th to get a 8-7 win in 10 innings behind a walk-off hit single by Hayden Federico.
Ole Miss was trailing by 3 in bottom of the 8th, when Judd Utermack hit his 2nd home run of the game to cut the lead to 2. Trailing 7-5 in the bottom of the 9th, Will Furniss drove in 2 runs with the bases loaded and 2 outs before Federicio got the win in the bottom of the 10th.
The Rebels got the win to move to 11-1 on the season, as the team will host Jacksonville State in a series next. The 2 teams will face off in 3 games, with the first game being on Friday. Ole Miss will play South Alabama after that series for 1 game, before the start of SEC play begins with a series against Arkansas (March 14-16).
