WATCH: Ole Miss head baseball coach Mike Bianco recaps nailbiter win over #3 Texas Tech

In his 2nd collegiate game, Jacob Gonzalez provided the spark the Rebels needed in the 3rd inning after getting into an early hole. The bullpen took care of the rest despite a late surge as #4 Ole Miss held on to defeat #3 Texas Tech, 5-4, in the State Farm College Baseball Showdown Sunday afternoon.

Gunnar Hoglund had a productive outing in 5.1 innings. Hoglund struck out 11 batters while allowing 3 hits on 95 pitches. Austin Miller, Max Cioffi, Luke Baker and Braden Forsyth made up a gutsy bullpen performance with the latter getting the save with bases loaded and two outs.

Offensively, Gonzalez went 2-for-4 at the plate, including the first home run of the season for the Rebels. Kevin Graham and Hayden Dunhurst each finished 1-for-3, while five different Rebels scored a run, all of which came in the third inning.
