OXFORD, Miss. -- Sophomore left-hander Drew Pomeranz turned in another gritty performance for the Rebels, but it wasn’t enough as No. 5 Virginia (47-13-1) took advantage of late errors to defeat No. 8 Ole Miss (44-19) by a score of 4-3 on Saturday.

The Cavalier win evened the weekend series at a game each and forces a third game on Sunday that will see one team advance to the College World Series while the other team ends its season. Game three will begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Pomeranz enthused the record crowd of 10,323 as he worked 7.0 innings and struck out 10, all  while holding the Cavaliers to two runs on seven hits before leaving the game with the Rebels leading 3-2. But with one out on the board in the eighth, a throwing error from Rebel second baseman Evan Button allowed Danny Hultzen to reach base and sparked a Virginia rally as the Cavaliers pushed two unearned runs across the plate to take the lead and eventually claim the win.

Freshman David Goforth (1-1) took the loss in relief for the Rebels as he allowed two unearned runs on one hit with a walk in the loss. Goforth worked the eighth as the Rebels were the visiting team and Virginia did not bat in the ninth.

Andrew Carraway (8-1) picked up the win for the Cavaliers as he worked 3.1 innings in relief and held the Rebels scoreless on four hits and struck out two. Matt Packer picked up his third save with a walk in 0.2 innings of work.

Ole Miss struck quickly in the first inning as Logan Power hit a two-run shot to score Jordan Henry who reached on a bloop double to open the inning.

The Cavaliers then chipped away at the lead, pushing a run across in the third as Josh Barr drew a leadoff walk in to open the inning. Barr then stole second before scoring two batters later when Tyler Cannon ripped a single up the middle to trim the lead to 2-1.

Virginia tied things in the fourth with another run as Barr again came up big for the Cavaliers with a two-out RBI double that scored Danny Hultzen from first and knotted the game at two.

Ole Miss moved back into the lead in the seventh when Matt Snyder scored on a single to left from Kyle Henson. Snyder walked before moving to second on a walk of Matt Smith.

The Cavaliers then took advantage of the pair of Rebel errors in the eighth to claim the first lead of the game. With one out on the board, Hultzen reached on a throwing error on a routine grounder to second. He then stole second before a walk of Steven Proscia put two men on base. Franco Valdes then came up with an RBI single through the right side to drive in Hultzen and leave runners at the corners with the game tied at three.

Barr again came up with a big at bat for the Cavaliers as the left fielder hit into a fielder’s choice to short that scored Proscia from third and provided what proved to be the game-winning run.

Ole Miss got a man on third in the top of the ninth as Zach Miller opened the ninth with a double down the left field line and moved to third on a sac bunt from Michael Hubbard. Ole Miss could not get him home, however, as the Cavaliers got the next two batters out to claim the win and force a deciding game on Sunday.
