Ole Miss baseball is forced to wait to finish its second game in the Lincoln Regional. 

The game between the Ole Miss Rebels and Nebraska Huskers will resume on May 31 at noon. Due to rain and lightning, the game was delayed by weather at 10:20 p.m., just before the ninth inning, on May 30. 

The Rebels and Huskers walked into the winner’s bracket after defeating their respective opponents, the Arizona State Sun Devils and South Dakota Coyotes.

The Rebels were leading the No. 1 Nebraska seed 6-3 in the winner’s bracket game at Haymarket Park for the Lincoln Regional. 

Ole Miss placed Taylor Rabe on the mound, and he successfully pitched six innings and gave up only one run, pushing the team 1-0 entering the sixth inning. 

Rabe had a phenomenal stretch with only four hits, two walks, and nine strikeouts, further proving his consistency and success. Ole Miss Baseball posted on Instagram, calling him “Always Reliable”.

Owen Paino came in to push the Rebels onto the board with a two-run double in a three run sixth inning.  Continuing the momentum into the seventh inning, the team added two more runs, both of which scored with the bases loaded.
