Rebel Pitching Racks Up 16 Strikeouts In 10-2 Win Over ULM

Rebels Improve to 7-0 Behind Strong Start from Freshman Hunter Elliott
OXFORD, Miss. โ Hunter Elliott made his first collegiate start, then picked up his first win as Ole Miss got past ULM 10-2 Tuesday night at Swayze Field.
ย
The freshman from Tupelo left the game in the top of the fifth after giving up a leadoff single to William Perkins. It was only his third hit allowed in the game, the other two hits also singles.
ย
Elliott, who had appeared in two games previously this season, was credited with two earned runs but had nine strikeouts and only one walk, facing 15 batters along the way.
ย
The Warhawks (1-5) had picked up a run in the first on a Mason Holt single which got Trace Henry home after he had reached on a walk. But the Rebels (7-0) scored six runs in innings two through five, and that would ultimately be plenty in this one.
ย
In the bottom of the second, there was actually an opportunity to get a few more runs than the two the Rebels scored. Ben Van Cleve flew out to center with the bases loaded to get a run home, while ULM starter Henry Shuffler's night was done when he walked in a run for a 2-1 Ole Miss lead.
ย
Mikel Howell replaced Shuffler and was able to get his team off the field. A ball hit right back to Howell by Justin Bench resulted in a double play which ended the threat.
ย
In the third, T.J. McCants singled home Jacob Gonzalez, who had walked, for a 3-1 Rebel lead. Ole Miss picked up two runs in the fourth on a Reagan Burford fly out that got Van Cleve across the plate after he led off with a double. Bench reached on an error and Calvin Harris, who had singled, came home.
ย
ULM picked up a run in the top of the fifth. Right-handed freshman Riley Maddox took over for Elliott with a Warhawk on first, and the run was credited to Elliott.
ย
There were two outs in the bottom of the fifth when McCants sent one out of the park to right field that gave the Rebels a four-run cushion again.
ย
In the top of the seventh, ULM made some noise, chasing junior right-hander Matt Parenteau with two aboard and no outs. Sophomore right-hander Jack Dougherty entered and took care of things.
ย
Leading 7-2, Ole Miss was able to add three runs in the eighth mainly due to ULM reliever Jack Engelmann walking five Rebels.
ย
Dougherty got his first save of the season. Shuffler, the Warhawk starter, got the loss.
ย
Ole Miss and Louisiana-Monroe meet again at 4 p.m. CT on Wednesday. Jack Washburn is the scheduled starter for the Rebels. The junior right-hander has two appearances and one start so far this season and a 2.25 ERA in four innings of work. Wednesday's action can be streamed live on SEC Network +.
