Rebels can’t hold on to claim series
Just a couple of inches either way and who knows how Sunday’s game could have turned out at Oxford-University Stadium.
Down to their final strike of the series, Auburn center fielder Ryan Tella hit a two-out double that soared down the left field foul line and barely dropped in fair between the foul line and sliding Ole Miss left fielder Tanner Mathis.
