Omaha, Neb. — The Rebels made a winning run around Charles Schwab Field.

Ole Fraulein Go two rounds ahead of Oklahoma in the eighth inning on Saturday College World Cup Opening Finals when the board caught fire.

TJ McCants ignited his goal by hooking it from Chazz Martinez on the court and sending it to the right field for Homer’s two-round turn to the crowd.

Calvin Harris added fuel to the fire in the next din as a lone house ran over the wall in Central Square. Finally, Justin brings Bench home with a solo homer to leave the field with the next bat.

“We have some balls in their hotspot, and they dumped them.” Coach OU Skip Johnson He said. “These are good players. We have to move on and really execute on our game plan.”

The Ole Miss is the first CWS team to hit consecutive home runs since LSU in 1998.

The home derby helped the Rebels to a 10-3 victory and a win to the National Championship. Ole Miss and OU play Game 2 on Sunday at 2 p.m.

“We’re not giving up,” Redchit student Blake Robertson He said. “We go out there and we don’t give up. We will fight to the end. It’s just an unfortunate loss for us, but it doesn’t define us as a team.”

The Rebels benefited from a shaky start on Jake Bennett’s mound. After throwing two wild pitches in the first half, the Ole Miss helped take a 2-0 lead, the second half of the red jersey sending a ball in Bench’s direction in the next frame.

It was unattainable.

Catcher Jimmy Crooks jumped from his crouch to try to cut through the wild coral, but let go of his glove and hit him with the backrest.

Harris made it to second base and came home when Bench sent a linear motor into right field on the RBI song.

Meanwhile, starting pitcher Ole Miss came out of the blazing cannons.

Jack Dougherty got the ball rolling after making just three starts this season, quashing an OU attack that went into the day averaging eight runs per game on the CWS.

After Homer’s solo by Tim Elko extended Ole Miss’ lead to 4-0 early in the third inning, Dougherty hit the side at the bottom of the frame. All three OU speculators wavered.

“You can’t take anything from him,” Robertson said of Dougherty. “He did the pitches. I think we were a little faster. Lesson learned.”

Dougherty had never thrown more than five carries in a college game. Sure enough, the sophomore began to lose momentum in the sixth after introducing a no-batsman player through five.

A throwing error allowed OU to reduce the lead to 4-1 and Dougherty loaded bases to no end, going with John Spikerman on the next at-bat.

Then came the new gunman Mason Nichols to restore order to the rebels. He escaped further trouble by giving up three of his four-strokes, although a rules-laden walk to Tanner Treadway made it a 4-2 match.

Bennett’s day ended with a walkout at the bottom of the seventh inning. The MLB prospect ended with 10 strikes and three winning runs, likely marking his final exit from OU.

After an Ole Miss triple in the eighth inning, Blake Robertson cut the difference to 8-3 with an RBI at the bottom of the frame.

But the rebels aren’t done yet. In the ninth game, they managed two more games to get the win by 10-3.

OU will try to keep their tournament hopes alive on Saturday.

“I think the lesson is that they’ve learned to take it one step at a time,” Johnson said. “We woke up this morning and we still had two games to win. We’ll wake up in the morning and we still have two games to win. Happens.”
