Musketeers face quick turnaround for Game Two at 2:30pm ET tomorrow

OXFORD, MS. - Xavier baseball faced a tough test in the form of a red-hot Ole Miss team on Friday night. Fresh off of a series victory over then-No. 1 Louisville and a midweek walk-off victory over Alcorn State, the Rebels showed no sign of slowing down with a complete 13-0 shutout of Xavier. The Musketeers struck out 10 combined batters, including four in two shutout innings from Evan Miller.

Xavier returns to the field tomorrow to face the Rebels in Game Two, set for 2:30 p.m. ET.

XU AT THE PLATE

Xavier tallied four baserunners: three walks from Housinger, Franzoni and Sexton as well as an HBP from Stephenson.

XU ON THE MOUND

Evan Miller had a great night in relief, striking out four batters in two hitless innings to help save Xavier's bullpen for the remainder of the series.
Lane Flamm drew the start and went 2.2 innings allowing four hits and striking out two.
