Omaha Preview: Ole Miss To Face Arkansas In Winner's Bracket

The Rebels continue their time in Omaha on Monday night against the Razorbacks.

OMAHA, Neb. -- The Ole Miss Rebels are in the winner's bracket in the College World Series after taking down the Auburn Tigers in the opening round of play on Saturday. 

Dylan DeLucia impressed in his first outing of the 2022 College World Series as the Rebels topped the Tigers 5-1 in the first round of play.

The Rebel right hander went 7.2 innings, racking up 10 strikeouts and allowing one earned run. He was relieved by Josh Mallitz with two outs in the eighth inning, and the final out of the frame was recorded on a throw down to first base by Hayden Dunhurst that picked off the runner.

Ole Miss jumped out to an early 2-0 lead after three-straight hits with two outs plated a pair of runs in the first inning. Other runs for the Rebels came via a Kevin Graham solo home run in the third inning, a TJ McCants RBI single and a double play hit into by Peyton Chatagnier.

In all, the Rebels had 11 hits and struck out 13 as a pitching staff.

The win for Ole Miss puts it in the winner's bracket in Omaha, and it will face Arkansas on Monday evening in its next game of the tournament. Here's what to expect when the Rebels and Hogs square off on Monday night.
