No. 18 Rebs hoping Wahl’s arm comes alive at Georgia

The right-handed ace was very un-Wahl-like, walking four in four innings against the Wildcats, and said he felt like he had a “dead arm” while warming up in the bullpen.
After four innings he was pulled in favor of relief pitcher Aaron Greenwood. (April 12, 2012, Page 6)

Ole Miss freshmen adapting to college life
Six key pieces of the future of Ole Miss’ baseball program didn’t just stroll into the athletics department on Thursday like typical freshmen.
