Judicial process begins, FBI takes over Students express concern about Greek life after incident BY ADAM GANUCHEAU dmeditor@gmail.com

The student judicial process began Friday to determine possible university punishment for three students suspected of involvement in desecrating the James Meredith statue last week. As of Sunday evening, the students had not been charged with any crime. However, the student judicial process can occur even without criminal charges filed against the suspects. “No official university action has taken place regarding suspension or expulsion of the students involved,” UM Communications Director Blanton said. “The process of determining whether the students violated the university conduct policy is definitely underway, and we believe it will move pretty quickly.” The FBI took complete control of the investigation on Friday, and the University Police Department will assist in the investigation. “We reached out to the FBI to assist us when we first learned about this,” Blanton said. “Now, they have basically switched roles. UPD is assisting the FBI with the investigation.” The FBI was unavailable for

The fraternity was indefinitely suspended by the Sig Ep national headquarters Friday and asked that all fraternity activities cease, according to a Sig Ep press release. “I learned about their in-

volvement on Wednesday afternoon,” Sig Ep President Jeremy Smith said. “By Wednesday night, the chapter had voted to expel all three (from the fraternity), and we reported the information to the university and authorities.” An anonymous source gave The DM the names of the three suspects believed to be involved,

but The DM has not been able to confirm the names. When contacted on Sunday, Blanton, Smith, University Police Chief Calvin Sellers and ASB Judicial Chair Harrison Crabtree said they could neither confirm nor deny the names.

News spread Friday that the three suspects the university is seeking in the Meredith statue investigation were members of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity at The University of Mississippi. The fraternity, known as Sig Ep, expelled all three members immediately, and the fraternity’s national headquarters indefinitely suspended the chapter while the investigation is underway. Some students at Ole Miss are discussing the role that Greek life plays in fostering racial problems on campus. “It is challenging to directly identify the root of the problems that African-American students experience at Ole Miss, particularly those related to race,” said Quadray Kohlheim, president of the Ole Miss Black Student Union. “However, history itself gives proof that members from (Interfraternity Council) Greek life contribute heavily to this issue.” The Interfraternity Council, commonly referred to as IFC, is the group of 16 traditionally-white fraternities on campus. There are three traditionally-black fraternities on campus, but they fall under National Pan-Hellenic Council, not the Interfraternity Council. Before the allegations became public, the presidents of all 16 Interfraternity Council fraternities on campus signed a letter Thursday condemning the desecration of the statue. Kohlheim said he believes the culture of Greek life in general allows “a homogenous mindset” that leads to acts of racism and See GREEK, PAGE 4

Where do we go from here, Ole Miss? BY TIM ABRAM

toabram@go.olemiss.edu

The Book of Acts in the Bible tells us the story of Philip and the Ethiopian. Irrespective of one’s religious preferences, the basic elements of this story produce a valuable antidote for addressing the woes that the Ole Miss community finds itself dealing with. The story begins with an angel of the Lord instructing Phillip to “go south to the road — the desert road — that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza” (Acts 8:26 New International Version). While Philip is traveling along this road he encounters an Ethiopian man in a chariot. The lesson is found in the subsequent verses. Acts 8:30 reads, “Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’ Phillip asked.” The response of the Ethiopian will be the focus of this T H E D A I LY

column. Acts 8:31 reads, “‘How can I,’ he said, ‘unless someone explains it to me?’ So he invited Phillip to come up and sit with him.” In this column, I’m simply asking for permission to come up into your proverbial chariot to explain a reason hateful actions transpire. The two main reasons are a lack of knowledge and perspective. Hopefully, through this column I can provide a bit of both. Within every troubling incident that occurs on our beloved campus lies an opportunity for growth, both personally and institutionally. After much deep introspection, I stumbled upon a way in which we can use the actions of a few to change the consciousness of many. We cannot control how external individuals use the ignorant, insensitive, hatred-driven actions of three men to characterize our campus community. But we can learn a lesson about the pervasiveness of stereotypes. Typically, I refrain from isolating segments of our campus. But honestly, I feel as though the lesson which needs to be learned cannot be done without being direct. Before I delve into the crux of my

thoughts, I ask that you read my Facebook status, which prompted me to write this column. I wrote, “There is a lesson to be learned in the midst of this chaos the Ole Miss community is currently enveloped in. For those of you who feel anger from the fact that the acts of two individuals will shape the national conscience, further perpetuating an ingrained stereotype about our school … I want to welcome you to the world of stereotypes. It sucks. It is unfair. But think about this ... You can go somewhere and no one will know that you are an Ole Miss student, thus the stigma is not automatically attached to you. Imagine how walking around black must feel.” Having more knowledge about the other is the first step in eradicating hate. I want to invite each white student on campus to reflect on how you feel when you have to defend an unjust stereotype about Ole Miss. Reflect on how powerless you feel because you are judged by the actions of others. But, in your reflection never lose sight of the privilege you possess that allows you to dissociate yourself

from Ole Miss whenever you please. Black people can never readily change our association with blackness, as it branded on every inch of our bodies. It is a weight that we carry. It is heavy weight that can be mentally taxing to carry. But honestly, it is weight that will ultimately make us stronger (not as in stronger than white people, just stronger in general) in the end. So, Ole Miss students, I’m asking you to go the mental gym and begin lifting. If we lift long enough, we will become strong soon enough. In his last address as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Martin Luther King Jr. asked the question, “Where do we go from here?” I’m asking the same one today. First, we need to head to the mental gym and empathize with the plight of others. Second, we have to straighten our backs and stand up to injustice. King said, “A man can’t ride your back unless it’s bent.” You can insert negative national publicity in place of “a man” if it helps. See OLE MISS, PAGE 3

Let me end by finishing the story of Philip and the Ethiopian. After Philip got in the chariot, he traveled with the Ethiopian and clarified the Scripture he had been reading. In some time, they came across some water. The Ethiopian asked, “What can stand in the way of my being baptized?” I can envision Philip saying, “Nothing, my friend. Let me take you down in the water myself.” After the baptismal of the Ethiopian, the Bible says that “the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away … but (the Ethiopian) went on his way rejoicing.” As graduation looms in May, I too will go away from this campus. Hopefully through my writing I will have changed someone, even if it’s just one person, so that they too may rejoice and begin spreading a message of empathy and understanding that will ultimately provide the campus atmosphere we all want. I will always be associated with my black skin by default, but I will always choose to be associated with Ole Miss. This is why I write the way I write — because of my intense love for this place and for every single Ole Miss Rebel. Tim Abram is a senior Public Policy Leadership major from Horn Lake.

The latest racist events on our campus particularly saddened me. Yes, the racial slurs from election night were troubling too. Yes, the homophobic remarks at “The Laramie Project” hurt me as well. However, hanging a noose and old Georgia flag (prominently featuring the Confederate battle flag) on our statue of James Meredith is completely different. It was a symbolic lynching. It was an action to incite fear in the minds of our black students — it was meant to intimidate them. It honestly breaks my heart that many of my friends felt unsafe on our campus in the hours following the symbolic lynching, and now, days following the symbolic lynching, still feel uncomfortable. But who can blame them? Of course I’ll never know how it feels to be black on this campus. I’ll never know how it feels to be called a racial slur, how it feels to see my state flag and be reminded every time that my ancestors were once enslaved. I’ll never know how it feels to fear for my safety because of the color of my skin. My white privilege, sadly, has insulated me from racial prejudice. It’s not right, but it’s reality in today’s America.

However, despite white privilege, I’m outraged. We all should be. And frankly, if you’re not outraged you’re simply not watching. We should all be saddened and mad that members of our “Ole Miss family” sometimes feel unsafe on our campus simply because of their race. I’m outraged that many of my friends had to weigh the decision to come to Ole Miss to get the best education they could get in Mississippi, knowing that there was a good chance that any day they could be a victim of prejudice, hatred or even a hate crime. We white students at Ole Miss don’t have to look at that costbenefit analysis. Most of our hearts don’t sink every time we walk by Vardaman Hall knowing he was a man who threatened to lynch every black person in Mississippi who sought the right to vote. Yet we honor him with a building. Most of our hearts don’t sink at events in the Johnson Commons Ballroom, knowing he was a man who physically blocked James Meredith from entering our campus and went to great lengths to keep this institution segregated. Yet we honor him with a ballroom. And most of our hearts don’t sink when we hear our band play “Dixie” at football games,

knowing it is a song rooted in racism, hatred and bigotry. So many people have looked at me as some Yankee who just doesn’t understand the “heritage” behind some of Ole Miss’ traditions. However, the “heritage” we celebrate on this campus isn’t our entire heritage — it’s the heritage of white, affluent Mississippi. Mississippi was a black-majority state at one time. It still is the state with the highest percentage of black residents in the United States. Where are the celebrations of black Mississippi’s heritage on our campus? We play “Dixie” at our football games, but if we played a black nationalist anthem our alumni would go nuts. We have a monument on our campus essentially dedicated to the Confederacy, yet we have no monument dedicated to African slaves who built this institution and state. We have buildings dedicated to controversial figures like Vardaman and Johnson, but where are our buildings dedicated to Mississippians like Medgar and Myrlie Evers? I’m thankful our chancellor and administrators are working to move our university forward. But the administration can only do so much. It’s time for our students and alumni to be outraged with the racial

climate and glacial pace of progress on this campus. Our university can no longer be an incubator for racism. Of course we’ve come far, but we’re so far behind. Let’s celebrate the black heritage of Mississippi in months other than Black History Month. Let’s name our new student union after a black alumnus of Ole Miss. Don’t get me wrong — I truly love Ole Miss and Mississippi. I love it enough to try my hardest to make it better. I love many of our traditions and appreciate Mississippi’s unique heritage. However, it would be in our university’s best interest to celebrate heritage that’s inclusive of all Mississippians, not just a few. The status quo is unacceptable.

Double Decker Arts Festival music line-up released BY SARA KIPARIZOSKA skipariz@go.olemiss.edu

Sounds of blues, pop, funk and jazz will be flowing through the Oxford Square during the 19th annual Double Decker Arts Festival April 2526. The festival’s music lineup was announced last Friday, and the performances promise a good time to any Oxford resident, student or visitor. The festival lineup includes music and appearances by Oxford natives Dent May, Morgan Pennington and, of course, Thacker Mountain Radio. Touring artists and bands will be Rosco Bandana, Bo-Keys, Garry Burnside, TBird and the Breaks, Infamous Stringdusters, Wild Feathers, Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Charles Bradley. Each performer is featured on the festival’s website along with a biography and a preview of their music. Performances will start Friday at 6 p.m. with the Gulfport-based funk band, Rosco Bandana. Partnering with Double Decker to produce Friday night’s lineup, Oxford’s own Thacker Mountain Radio will bring in Rosco Bandana and the Bo-Keys along with an author on its radio show. The featured author is yet to be decided, but Thacker Mountain Radio is working on the project with local bookstores. Kathryn McGaw, Thacker Mountain executive director and producer, is excited about Thacker’s second year hosting and performing at the festival. “Double Decker focuses on

local artists, good local music, and that’s what Thacker is all about,” McGaw said. “Together with the Double Decker Festival, we worked together to pick the entertainment that we felt would be fun and entertaining for our community.” The Bo-Keys will also perform Friday at 8 p.m., bringing fresh, soulful music from Memphis to Oxford. The band includes members who have managed to claim an Emmy award and a Grammy nomination. “Hopefully, everyone will stick around, put on their dancing shoes and enjoy a great time,” McGaw said. Rachel Larry, a University of Mississippi pharmaceutical sciences sophomore, appreciates the variety Double Decker offers. “Double Decker is something unique about Oxford that you can’t experience anywhere else,” she said. “I love how so many artists come to Double Decker and play different music in the same area.” The live music will continue Saturday, with about 200 art and food vendors joining them on the streets of the historic Oxford Square.

Exclusion and rejection of people who differ from the norm are fundamental to the system they are a part of.” Other leaders in the Ole Miss

Greek community were quick to discredit any negative connotations caused by similar incidents in the past. “It’s such a shame that these three individuals would do something like this,” said William Burns, president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity said. “These actions go against everything we stand for as a Greek community.

It has been an incredible privilege to work with these students and friends and to serve the university and Oxford communities.” TheDMonline.com won fourth place for Best College Website, alongside The Daily Mississippian’s print awards and recognition.

There were 440 entries in Best of the South ranging from November 2012 to November 2013 from 35 universities. In categories with many entries, awards were given for first through 10th place.

ASB hosts ‘Spring RebelTHON raises money Into Health’ for Le Bonheur BY ALLISON SLUSHER thedmnews@gmail.com

The Associated Student Body will host Spring Into Health, a week promoted to healthy living, Monday through Friday. The week is part of an initiative created by the Institutions of Higher Learning Student Body Presidents Council of Mississippi. The council is comprised of student body presidents from each public university in the state. These presidents and their student governments will host health-related programs this week as well. ASB President Gregory Alston serves as president of the Presidents Council of Mississippi. He said he is looking forward to the week and what it will teach students about living healthy lifestyles. “The Associated Student Body is really excited about the week,” Alston said. “Living healthy is such an integral part of our daily lives and it is something that we should strive to do. I am excited that the students will be able to participate in events during Spring Into Health that focus on healthy living.” The events for Spring Into Health include a food market at the Union Plaza, “Groove and Glow” classes at the Turner Center, a 5k race

benefitting Ole Miss student Carson Otter and a fitness test in the Grove. ASB Director of Health Promotions and Miss University Anna Beth Higginbotham has been instrumental in planning the events for the week. “We hope that students will learn of all the opportunities there are for them to lead a healthy lifestyle in Oxford,” Higginbotham said. “By having local organic farms come and provide information about their produce and having Campus Rec come out and show their support for this week, we are excited to promote these organizations to our students.” Ryan Henry, ASB co-director of community service, has also helped to plan Spring Into Health. “I am really looking forward to Monday’s eat local event,” Henry said. “Oxford has great locally-produced food that a lot of students are unaware of, so I hope they learn about farms like Yokna Bottoms or the Farmers Market.” The opening ceremony will be held in front of the Union today at 12 p.m. For a complete schedule of the week, visit the Ole Miss ASB Facebook page or follow OleMiss ASB on Twitter.

Participants dance during RebelTHON on Saturday.

BY RANDALL HALEY arhaley@go.olemiss.edu

Ole Miss students danced for 12 hours Saturday in support of the kids of Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis at the 2014 RebelTHON. The no-sitting, no-sleeping event was a celebration of the money raised for Le Bonheur over the past year. “We stand for those who can’t,” said Maia Cotelo, sophomore international studies major and internal director. “We want to mimic the struggle of the families, the doctors and everyone who has so much stress for such long periods of time.” This year, RebelTHON raised $31,454.29 for Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. Sixteen Le Bonheur families attended the event, and one family spoke about its story

each hour. The Jenkins family has been commuting from Oxford to take their daughter Lindsay to Le Bonheur since September 2010. “My daughter was having uncontrollable seizures and the doctors told us to be patient,” said Mark Jenkins, Lindsay’s father. Lindsay was placed in an induced coma for one week due to the seizures. “When you’re jerked up out of the middle of your life and thrown into a situation like that, you don’t know what to do,” Jenkins said. Jenkins said Lindsay spent 19 days in Le Bonheur in 2010 and that the family really appreciated the fundraiser. “They helped us in a time of need, so we were more than happy to give back,” Jenkins said.

Each hour of the event had its own theme. Themes included a luau, school spirit, Disney, the Olympics and more. Several local restaurants helped by catering the event. Sophomore international studies major and RebelTHON participant Katie Wright spoke about her personal experience with Le Bonheur. “I was actually in a hospital like Le Bonheur myself,” she said. “So to be able to come out here and support these kids has been an awesome experience.” Freshman marketing major Charlie Walker communicated his positive feelings for RebelTHON. “The event is astounding because of the difference you’re making in these kids’ lives,” he said. “I feel like you can’t see how much impact it really has until you come to the event.”

and maintained that lead thanks to the play of McFarland and Faleru. With Mississippi State trying to cut into the Rebel lead, McFarland drained her fourth triple of the game, giving Ole Miss a 53-42 lead - the largest lead of the game for the Rebels - which forced the home team to call a timeout. MSU made things interesting and with a 6-0 spurt cut the lead to five points, but Ole Miss went to Faleru in the paint for a bucket pushing the lead to 59-53 at the 7:39 mark, matching the Bulldogs

bucket for bucket. Ole Miss opened the game with a great start, scoring the first bucket of the game. Behind the strength of two triples from Joseph, Ole Miss took a 13-6 lead at the 15:20 mark forcing a Bulldog timeout. Out of the break, the Rebels continued their strong play on the defensive end, forcing Mississippi State into a rushed look on the other end which fell short, giving the ball back to the Rebels. The home team used 11-5 run to cut the Ole Miss lead to 18-17

at the under 12 minute timeout, behind nine points from Martha Alwal. The Rebels weren’t discouraged and out of the under 12 media, used an 8-1 run, highlighted by a triple from Frizzell to pull ahead, 26-18, at the 7:48 mark. MSU uses back-to-back triples to get themselves back in the game, but McFarland silenced the crowd with a triple of her own, keeping the lead at six points for the Rebels. Ole Miss took a 42-35 halftime lead thanks to buckets from McFarland and Faleru to close the half. The Rebels were on fire from three-point land, shooting 77.8 percent (7-of-9). McFarland led the way with three first half triples, while Frizzell and Joseph each added a pair. Ole Miss will stay on the road as the Rebels travel to Missouri on Thursday (Feb. 27). Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. at Missouri’s Mizzou Arena. The game will be televised on Fox Sports - Midwest and can be seen on SportsSouth locally. Ole Miss returns to the Tad Pad for its final regular-season game vs. Auburn on Sunday, March 2. The Rebels will honor seniors Valencia McFarland, Kenyotta Jenkins and Diara Moore.

continued from page 8 from Henderson would get an open look. He does pass it, as Kennedy recounted following the loss to Kentucky. “We hit the slip guy a number of times, but we can’t score at the basket,” Kennedy said. “Sometimes it is even a victory to get a shot. We fall. How many layups have we missed?” Now think about last year’s team. Henderson’s skill set was much the same, and Summers had not developed his killer instinct. But Murphy Holloway was superb at driving left for a layup. Holloway or Reggie Buckner could post up on the block and get two points. Henderson could hit them as he came off a screen, and they would finish plays off, both shot over 50 percent in SEC play. Even Nick Williams had the ability to get to a mid-range jumper and knock down a shot. White, who was asked to do less, was more efficient, shooting 46.2 percent. Last year the team had options, and players that could take advantage when a defense overcommitted to Henderson. This year, those options are lacking. So when Henderson launches his next 25-foot 3-pointer and you begin to yell about him hurting the team, ask yourself: Is there someone else who could actually put points on the board?

Valencia McFarland had a career-best 29 points and Tia Faleru added 19 points and 14 rebounds, but the Ole Miss women’s basketball team dropped a 70-72 overtime road contest to Mississippi State on Sunday (Feb. 23). Trailing by two with 2:53 left in overtime, Ole Miss (10-18, 1-13 SEC) had two clean looks to tie the game. Diara Moore had a layup fall just off the rim with 43 seconds left and with Gracie Frizzell had a good look at a triple, which would have sealed the game for the Rebels but it fell just short. McFarland’s 29 points led all scorers. Faleru, who recorded her 15th double-double with 19 points and 14 rebounds, was the other Rebel in double-figures. Shequila Joseph added eight points. The second half was a game of runs. The Bulldogs, down by 13 points used a 15-5 run to cut the Ole Miss lead to one possession, 59-57, with 6:50 remaining. In the final three minutes of the regulation, both teams had a chance to win, including a look at a jumper from McFarland with two seconds left that fell short sending the rivalry game to overtime for the second time this season. Ole Miss opened the second half much like it started the game

Diamond Rebs take series In defense of from Georgia State Henderson’s shot selection

COLUMN

BY TYLER BISCHOFF tfbischo@go.olemiss.edu

As Ole Miss scorched the top defense in the SEC with 42 points in the first half, Marshall Henderson led the way with 22 points on 7 of 14 shooting in those first 20 minutes. But then came the second half, and Florida’s top-notch defense held Henderson to 0 of 6 shooting and no points and the Rebels fell 75-71. So came the questioning. Why does Henderson jack up so many contested 3-pointers? Why does Andy Kennedy allow this to happen? A reporter even asked Martavious Newby if he gets frustrated with Henderson’s shot selection. “We don’t get frustrated at all. Marshall’s Marshall,” Newby said. “That’s why he is here. The shots that everybody thinks are not going in, he hits.” But it is more than just Henderson occasionally knocking down a ridiculous shot. His shot selection is based upon his teammates’ skill sets. Consider this year’s basketball team. What is the best skill set any player possesses on the offensive end? It is Henderson running off of a screen for a 3-pointer. Kennedy has called Henderson the best he’s ever seen at rounding those screens and turning into a shot. Outside of that, the only other high-quality skill set on this offense is Jarvis Summers’ ability to penetrate, especially off of the pick-and-roll. And it is no surprise that Kennedy’s two main offensive play calls are designed

for those two skill sets. All season Henderson has run through a maze of screens along the baseline, and Summers has attacked defenses off of ball screens at the top of the key. Yes, they actually run plays to highlight the strengths of the team. But beyond those two, what other skill set does this team possess that could exploit a defense? There certainly isn’t one in the frontcourt, where the four Ole Miss big men are shooting 40.8 percent in SEC play. Yes, the guys shooting the majority of their shots within five feet of the basket are well below 50 percent. On the perimeter, Anthony Perez has come along this season; he has the highest offensive rating of anyone on the team in conference play. Most of his damage has been done in transition, where he’s scoring 1.4 points per possession, per Synergy Sports. After Perez, it gets pretty rough. LaDarius White, who often is defended by the opponent’s worst defender, is shooting 39.4 percent in SEC play, and Derrick Millinghaus is at an awful 29.4 percent from the field. Do those guys really need to be taking more shots? Yes, Henderson is shooting 37.8 percent from the field in SEC games. But he is drawing the opponent’s best defender plus help defenders who completely abandon their man to make sure Henderson doesn’t get up a shot. When defenders abandon their man, usually that leaves someone wide open, and a pass See HENDERSON, PAGE 7

Chris Ellis releases a pitch during a game against Georgia State on Friday. Ellis pitched a complete game shutout.

BY MATT SIGLER mcsigler@go.olemiss.edu

Friday: Ole Miss 3, Georgia State 0 Junior right-hander Chris Ellis tossed a complete game shutout and the Ole Miss offense provided three runs of support to propel the Rebels to their fifth win of the season, 3-0 over Georgia State Friday night. Ellis only gave up five hits in the game and struck out four. “Chris (Ellis) was terrific,” Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco said. “In 13-plus years, not too many complete games, not too many shutouts here. Tonight he was excellent. He had three pitches in the strike zone. That’s a very good offense. Georgia State was ranked in the top five in runs scored. They got good swings off tonight, even as good as Chris was on the mound.” With the win Ellis improved to 2-0 on the year and has now thrown 15 innings without surrendering a run. It wasn’t the most conventional way to score, but Ole Miss was able to plate three runs on seven hits. An RBI single from junior Will Jamison that allowed junior Sikes Orvis to score in the second inning got things started for Ole Miss. Jamison was thrown out trying to take second, but an errant throw allowed for senior Preston Overbey to also score on the play, pushing the lead to 2-0. Then Braxton Lee drew a bases loaded walk in the fourth to cap the scoring at 3-0. Saturday: Ole Miss 9, Georgia State 1 A five run fifth inning and a four run sixth inning pushed Ole Miss to a 9-1 victory over Georgia State Saturday afternoon. The win clinched the series for the Rebels. Redshirt sophomore lefthander Christian Trent turned in seven solid innings of work on the

mound, giving up just one run on three hits in the win. “Christian (Trent) was terrific,” Bianco said. “He pitched very similar to how Chris (Ellis) did last night. Just a great mix of three pitches and it really kept them off balance. He was super dominant. It was a great performance and another great defensive game.” Not only did the Rebels get a good outing on the mound, they also pounded the ball at the plate and racked up 17 hits. Georgia State got on the board first with an RBI single in the second, but after that the Panther offense was held in check. Ole Miss responded with two home runs in the bottom half of the fifth. First, a solo shot by junior Auston Bousfield, followed by a three-run homer by junior Sikes Orvis into the student section in right field. Bousfield then drove in another run in the bottom of the fifth on an RBI single. The bats continued to stay hot in the sixth with senior Preston Overbey recording an RBI triple, Orvis an RBI single, and Bousfield knocking in two on a single. Six Ole Miss players finished the game with multiple hits, while two, Orvis and Bousfield, drove in four runs on the day. Sunday: Georgia State 6, Ole Miss 4 Ole Miss suffered their first loss of the season Sunday afternoon, falling to Georgia State 6-4 and pushing their overall record to 6-1. Junior right-hander Sam Smith got the start for Ole Miss going 5 1-3 innings and giving up three runs on nine hits. Smith was in line for the win when he exited the game, but the bullpen wasn’t able to hold the lead in the loss. “I thought it was tough on all the pitchers today,” Bianco said “They are very good offensively and I think it was just a tough day

to pitch today. You have to hand it to Sam (Smith). He battled them. Sam gave us a chance to win, just like he always does on Sunday, leaves the game with the lead, and with nine outs to go we’re not able to hold it. That’s tough.” Both teams jumped on the board early, scoring two runs in the first. Georgia State plated their first run on a delayed steal of home, which worked with a throw down to second base. Next an RBI double pushed the lead to 2-0. However, Ole Miss responded with a two run double from senior Will Allen in the bottom half of the frame. Ole Miss would take the lead in the second on an RBI single from junior Will Jamison, but Georgia State would tie things up in the fifth on an RBI triple. The back-and-forth battle continued, but Ole Miss scored their last run in the fifth on a single from senior Austin Anderson. Georgia State would continue to produce at the plate. The Panthers would benefit from a two-run home run in the seventh and a solo shot in the eighth on their way to the 6-4 win. Georgia State also got a complete game from their starting pitcher Matt Rose, who gave up just eight hits and allowed four on the day to an Ole Miss offense that had been rolling. “Rose was tremendous,” Bianco said. “It looked like early on we were going to be able to get to him, we got some good swings off his fastball, but then it kind of stopped and we weren’t getting as many good swings off. He started to roll, and then you could see there at the end in the eighth and the ninth just attacking the strike zone.” Next up for Ole Miss will be a two-game home series with Louisiana Monroe Tuesday and Wednesday. Both games are set to begin at 4 p.m.
