Ole Miss pitching fuels sweep of Super Regional as Rebels get set for Omaha
Ole Miss’ pitching staff didn’t have a single shut out all season, and now the Rebels have back-to-back shut outs that have fueled their trip to Omaha.
On Sunday, Ole Miss advanced to its first College World Series since 2014 with a 5-0 win over Southern Miss, as the final team in the NCAA Tournament field of 64 is headed the pinnacle of college baseball. Ole Miss is the fourth No. 3 seed in a regional to reach the CWS without a loss since 1999 when regional seeds were named.
For the Rebels, Justin Bench on Sunday had 3 hits, including a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday’s win. On the mound, Hunter Elliott struck out 10 in 7 1/3 innings, and only allowed 3 hits.
To win Game 1, Ole Miss relied on starter Dylan DeLucia, who didn’t allow a run through 5 and 1/3 innings on 108 pitches, and delivered 9 strikeouts and just 4 hits.
Hunter Elliott is something special. The @OleMissBSB freshman lefty has a career-high 10 K through 7 scoreless in Hattiesburg. He’s been money down the stretch, and he’s been big money today with a trip to Omaha on the line. #RebsBSB leads 4-0, with 6 outs left to get.

SEC!
Way to go Bears, Rebels…whatever the PC name of the team is now.
Good job winning on the road.
“OriginalDumbassisyou”would be a better handle.
for all you naysers, Ha Ha Ha guess who is going to Omaha!!!
Well done Ole Miss!
Congrats, Ole Miss! This team is getting hot at the right time. How cool would it be if the last one in wins it all?
Very odd, but so college baseball. No shutouts all season, then two in a row in the biggest games of the season so far. Nicely done.
Congrats! I’m not rooting for you, but Ole Miss is a scary team right now. I wouldn’t want to face them in the tourney.
don’t need you to root for us, you have enough grief from a completely pitiful season.
Lol you sound like those arrogant UT fans.
Completely pitiful season? Kinda like Ole Miss in football or any other sport for that matter. 1963 football Natty? 59 years and counting. Looks like it will be 60 next year.
However, you can hang your hat on winning a national title in cheerleading in 2022. Seems Ole Miss is good at cheering and not really winning in any other sports.
And I believe State won a natty in baseball maybe..umm.. last year?
Sooo id take it easy on the “pathetic” part. Don’t become UT part deux and have fans that are rooting for the Rebs come to despise them because of a douche like you.
And by the way I am rooting for Ole’ Miss like I’m rooting for Arkansas. I cant bring myself to pull for the barn. Just like I will never root for Florduh or the nerds in atlanta, I just cant do it. The enemy deserves no quarter.
TexasUGA fan is by far the dumbest handle I could ever imagine. Reminds me of the dump I just took which gave me the time to read the garbage you just posted.
Haa, haaa,haa,haa. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
I literally ran out of breath laughing at your pathetic comeback. That is so pathetic its not funny.
Great comeback junior. Is that really the best you have? Are you 12? Go back to sleep so the adults can talk.
Good lord at least come back with something more then “oh yeah? Come on little man. Try harder when you are bent over from behind with no lube. Your mom surely taught you that.
TxReb: Go back to being the best at cheerleading. Lol
Whew! Good thing you didn’t need me to root for Ole Miss.
Great job on the sweep Rebs. Now we just need Auburn to finish strong tonight and Omaha will be a SEC west dominated affair. So glad UT fell while every other SEC team is spring.
thank you several for the compliments.
Those back handed compliments will receive their own special reply.
Three SEC West teams go through Supers 2-0 to Omaha. Now it’s up to you Auburn…but given the bracket, wouldn’t mind you playing a 21-inning Game 3 tomorrow first.
I can certainly understand that.
The SEC West is amazingly good in baseball. Over half of the division making it to Omaha would be crazy, and that’s with MSU, the defending NC, and LSU, the most storied program in the conference, not making it. Congrats to the three in and best of luck to Auburn.
And why is this article not on the front page? Five of the seven articles there are about Tennessee, the team that just got eliminated. And, congrats to Farner for actually writing an article.
Love to see it! Congratulations!
SDS writers are so anti-Ole Miss it is pathetic. We sign a 4 star – no mention. Back up reserve who wasn’t played in two years and it is a top news story.
Being an Ole Miss fan is like Rodney Dangerfield – NO RESPECT. Dang I am old!
Me too, and he was funny.
Too busy spending all their time on TU.
UT*
Force of habit.
Congrats to the 2022 Diamond Rebs and Coach Bianco! Good luck in Omaha!!! And for all UM fans everywhere, not every comment or opinion requires a reaction. A little humility goes a long way. Just saying.
