Coming into the Ole Miss series, only Missouri (16) — which is still winless in conference play — had fewer home runs in SEC games than South Carolina and Kentucky (18). The Tigers, too, were the only school with fewer RBIs than the Gamecocks (74).

South Carolina took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when junior outfielder Nathan Hall hit a leadoff double and later scored on senior infielder Jordan Carrion's RBI groundout. The Rebels tied the game in the third after sophomore catcher Austin Fawley hit a solo home run.

The No. 11 Ole Miss baseball team fell in game two of the series against South Carolina by a score of 7-2. The Rebel offense was held to just four hits by Gamecock pitching. Hayden Federico would lead off the game for Ole Miss with a solo blast to left field.
