Ole Miss Extends Losing Streak, Falls to Arkansas State in Midweek Action

The Ole Miss Rebels have now lost three straight games after falling to the Arkansas State Red Wolves on Wednesday.

The Ole Miss Rebels fell below the .500 mark for the first time in 2024 with a 4-2 loss to the Arkansas State Red Wolves on Wednesday night, moving their losing streak to three games.

Arkansas State struck with a run in the first and second innings and two runs in the fourth to open up a 4-0 lead before the Rebels got on the board. Ole Miss’ first run of the day came on a Jackson Ross RBI single in the bottom of the fifth that scored Treyson Hughes from third. 

Judd Utermark provided some life for the Rebel bats in the bottom of the eighth inning, hitting a solo home run to left-center field, but it did not provide enough of a spark to change the game's outcome.
