The Rebels captain Tim Elko delivered a two-run bomb in the sixth that scored Justin Bench and brought Ole Miss within one run by a score of 3-2.

In the seventh, Alabama’s Tommy Seidl hit a towering home run off the scoreboard in left.

Ole Miss’ designated hitter Kemp Alderman smashed a ball into the parking lot in left.

The Crimson Tide tacked on one more run off the bat of Pinckney with a solo home run in the eighth. Pinckney finished the game going 2-for-4 with a home run, double and a RBI.

Diamond tossed 4.1 innings allowed two runs on two hits while striking out five on the afternoon.
