Ole Miss didn’t get to host an NCAA Regional in Oxford. So the Rebels hit the road and swept the Lincoln Regional as the 2-seed, advancing to Supers.
Mike Bianco’s squad faced Arizona State, the Lincoln Regional 3-seed, in Sunday’s regional final. Ole Miss needed more than 9 innings, but punched its Super Regional ticket in dramatic fashion.

It was a 4-4 ballgame in the bottom of the 10th inning. Dom Decker came to the plate with runners on 1st and 3rd with 1 out. A fly ball to left field did the trick and had the Rebels celebrating in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Bianco used 3 pitchers in the game. Starter Cade Townsend went 5 innings, allowing 4 runs (3 earned) on 6 hits while striking out 7 and walking 5. Wil Libbert threw 3 hitless innings in relief. JP Robertson threw the final 2 scoreless innings, allowing just 1 hit.
Ole Miss is awaiting its Super Regional matchup. The Lincoln Regional was hosted by No. 13 overall seed Nebraska and paired with the Auburn Regional. Auburn, the No. 4 national seed, lost its opener against Milwaukee, but has battled back out of the loser’s bracket to force a winner-take-all game Monday.
