*Sigh* Well for the second straight year Ole Miss failed to close it out in the Super Regional and lost to the University of Miami 14-9 last night. In what was a close game until the Bottom of the 7th Miami just continued to pound the Rebel pitching inning after inning coming up with a number of big hits. One inning after Junior third baseman Chris Coghlan hit a game tying homerun in the Top of the 7th, Miami's Danny Valencia hit a 2 out Grand Slam - after Miami had already scored a go-ahead run - to make the score 13-8, Miami. The homerun just sucked the life out of Ole Miss who had been clawing back since Friday evening when they were able to pull out a come-from-behind victory. Although they were able to load the bases and get a run in the ninth, the Rebels just finally ran out of answers for the Hurricanes, thus sending Miami to their 22nd appearance in the College World Series.
The good news is that Ole Miss returns a very solid nucleus next year even after possibly losing a few players to the draft. Look for Ole Miss to be back in a Super regional next year and hopefully this time they'll be able to win it.
