Ole Miss Baseball Advances to Men's College World Series
Ole Miss scored five unanswered runs after Auburn led 2-0, and Taylor Rabe struck out eight in seven innings.
On Saturday, June 6, 2026, Ole Miss defeated Auburn 5-3 at Plainsman Park, sweeping the Super Regional and clinching a spot in the Men's College World Series.
Despite trailing 2-0 early, the Rebels scored 5 runs between the sixth and eighth innings to overcome the Tigers and seize control of the game.
Pitcher Taylor Rabe struck out 8 batters over seven innings, while eighth-inning home runs by Will Furniss and Tristan Bissetta provided the decisive margin in the comeback.
The victory secures an Omaha berth for Ole Miss for the first time since their 2022 championship season, where they await the winner of the North Carolina versus USC series.
Auburn's season ends at home for the second consecutive year, with the Tigers finishing 1-of-10 with runners in scoring position despite competitive pitching throughout the series.
