In their NCAA Tournament opener, No. 10-seeded Ole Miss (40-20) suffered a 9-6 upset loss to Murray State, who took the lead with a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning. Despite trailing early, the Rebels fought back to tie the game twice and briefly led in the fourth, but ultimately could not overcome the Racers, who capitalized on crucial mistakes and secured the win with additional runs in the ninth. Ole Miss now faces Western Kentucky in a must-win game on Saturday, with players emphasizing the need to put this loss behind them as they strive to keep their season alive.
