Kentucky loses 9-3 against Ole Miss but wins the series

OXFORD, Miss. – (UK Athletics) – The Ole Miss Rebels salvaged a game of the weekend series on Sunday afternoon, beating No. 16 Kentucky 9-3. Kentucky had already clinched the series with wins on Friday (4-3) and Saturday (7-5).

The Wildcats came out with two quick runs in the top of the first inning, but a seven-run frame for Ole Miss in the bottom of the second off of three different UK pitchers broke open the game, as OM took control and played the final five innings while only allowing one Kentucky run.
