VIDEO: Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco, Treyson Hughes discuss Rebels’ 5-3 win over ULM
MONROE, La. — Ole Miss baseball went on the road to play ULM Tuesday night and used a two-run ninth inning to defeat the Warhawks, 5-3.
Riley Maddox would end up working a career-high six innings for the Rebels, giving him back-to-back starts with a career-high after working five against Memphis last week. Andrew Fischer drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth and the bullpen shined once again as Ole Miss Baseball (13-5) extended their winning streak to seven games.
Fischer finished 2-for-4 with a triple and two RBI while four other Rebels had multiple-hit days. Mason Nichols earned his second win of the season and Connor Spencer earned the save.
Perhaps the highlight of the game came when Treyson Hughes made a sliding catch in right field. The ULM runner would try and tag up and make it to third base, but Hughes would have none of it, showing off an absolute cannon of an arm.
