Ole Miss answered ECU’s four runs in the top of the sixth with five of its own to take a 7-6 lead. Will Golsan plated Colby Bortles with a one-out single through the left side. After a Thomas Dillard walk and a passed ball, Zabowski singled home the two runners with a shot to right field. Two batters later Olenek’s two-RBI double gave the Rebels the lead for good.

ECU broke a two-all tie in the top half of the sixth thanks to an RBI double down the right field line by Watkins that scored Tyler. Yorgen followed two batters later with a two-run single pushing across Spencer Brickhouse and Watkins. Barber, who made his collegiate debut at shortstop, executed a safety squeeze with a bunt back to the mound that allowed Luke Bolka to score capping the inning at 6-2.

For the third-straight game, ECU took an early lead when Watkins slapped a two-out two-RBI single through left side for a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Williams-Sutton singled to start the game, which was followed by T.J. Riles’ single down the left field line. A Feigl wild pitch moved both runners up 90 feet before coming home on Watkins’ first hit of the season.

Zabowski knotted the game at two-all in the bottom half of the second for Ole Miss. Dillard singled to center with one out and came around to score on Zabowski’s two-run shot to right-center field.
