Rebels Clinch SEC Berth With 7-5 Win Over #20 Kentucky In 11 Innings

http://www.olemisssports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=13045&SPID=748&DB_OEM_ID=2600&ATCLID=1471582 LEXINGTON, Ky. – It took a little over four hours and 11 innings, but in the end the Rebels got it done with clutch performances at the plate as Ole Miss (34-22, 15-15 SEC) clinched an SEC Tournament berth with a 7-5 win over No. 20 Kentucky (41-15, 16-14 SEC) on Sunday. The tourney's eighth seed, Ole Miss will face top-seeded Georgia Wednesday at 5 p.m. CT at Regions Park in Hoover, Ala. Tied at five in the 11th, the Rebels opened the inning with back-to-back singles from Brett Basham and Jordan Henry before an intentional walk of Logan Power with one out loaded the bases. Cody Overbeck then pushed across the go ahead run as he was hit by a pitch before Matt Smith drew a two-out, bases loaded walk to push a second run across and give the Rebels the 7-5 win.
