Final Stats

PEARL, Miss. - Ole Miss' Cody Overbeck scored the tying run in the eighth inning and drove in the winning run in the ninth inning with a sacrifice fly to right field to lead the Rebels to a 6-5 come-from-behind win over Southern Miss, tonight, at Trustmark Park in front of 6,217 in attendance.

"Everything is under a microscope when you don't drive in runs," Southern Miss Head Coach Corky Palmer said. "We are 26 games into the season and still are leaving people everywhere. It was a great college baseball game and shows you how strong college baseball is in this state when you can draw more than 6,000 fans."

Evan Button singled to left center to lead off the inning, advanced to second when Jordan Henry's sacrifice bunt was thrown to second but not in enough time to retire Button. He advanced to third on Justin Henry's bunt single down the third base line and scored when Overbeck flew out to right.

In the eighth inning, Overbeck singled to right center, moved to second when Power reached on a infield single to third base and advanced to third base when third baseman James Ewing's throw to retire Power was errant. Pinch hitter C.J. Ketchum flew out to left field to score Overback for the tying run.

Patrick Ezell (2-1) was credited with the loss, pitching two-thirds of an inning, giving up a run on two hits and had one strikeout. Cody Satterwhite (2-0) earned his second win of the season, pitching the ninth inning, giving up one hit and striking out one batter.

Jared Cavenaugh came on in relief in the fourth inning, pitching 3.1 innings, giving up one run on four hits and striking out one batter.

The Golden Eagles came back with two more runs in the fifth inning to take a 5-4 lead.

Dozier moved to second on the wild pitch, moved to third on another wild pitch and scored on another wild pitch for the second run of the inning.
