Murray State Fell 8-2 to Ole Miss on Tuesday

Murray State (15-16) baseball dropped a midweek matchup with national powerhouse Ole Miss 8-2 on Tuesday at Swayze Field in Oxford, Mississippi. The game was the fifth versus a Southeastern Conference opponent this season after prior battles with Alabama and Kentucky.

Racers outfielder Cade Sammons shined for MSU while playing at his old stomping grounds. Sammons, who had a previous stop at Ole Miss before transferring to Murray State, went 2 for 4 on the day with a pair of doubles with an RBI and a run scored in the contest. All four Racer hits were in the two-bag variety with Riley Hawthorne and Cayden Shaver collecting a double each along with Sammons.

Murray State put together a staff day on the mound, utilizing 10 arms on the day. The Racers pitching staff allowed the Rebels to score in just two innings on the day.
