Murray State jumps on Ole Miss, holds on to win Oxford Regional 12-11 for 1st super regional berth
Associated Press
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Luke Mistone and Will Vierling had four hits apiece in Murray State's 19-hit attack and the Racers won the Oxford Regional by holding off 15th-seeded Ole Miss 12-11 on Monday night to make their first super regional.
The Racers (42-14) advance to the Durham Super Regional against unseeded Duke, which won the Athens Regional. Murray State is the third straight Missouri Valley Conference team to make the second weekend after Indiana State (2023) and Evansville (2024).
Mistone and Vierling both went 4 for 5 and Carson Garner and Dom Decker both had three hits as the Racers shocked the team that pounded them 19-8 on Sunday night by opening a 12-3 lead in the seventh inning.
Ole Miss (43-21) used a single, a hit batter and three straight walks to turn the game around. Luke Hill had a two-run single and Will Furniss another single to make it 12-8.
Graham Kelham got two strikeouts to end the inning. A video review was used to overturn a hit batter that would have loaded the bases with one out.
Brayden Randle hit his first home run of the season, a three-run shot in the eighth to make it a one-run game.
Kelham allowed two more singles before getting out of the inning and then had a perfect ninth. He gave up six hits in 2 2/3 innings but struck out six to get his seventh save. Nic Schutte (8-3), who started in the Racers' 9-6 win over the Rebels on Friday, got the win in relief.
Walker Hooks (1-2), the first of six Ole Miss pitchers, gave up eight hits and five runs in 2 1/3 innings in the loss.

Eli Manning Reveals Plan for New York Giants' Jaxson Dart
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Giants are now two eras removed from the Eli Manning days. Although the organization hoped for a long and healthy relationship with their former first-round pick, Daniel Jones, that partnership couldn't make it through the 2024 NFL season. The Giants were then led down a path to take a quarterback during the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. When New York went on the clock at 25th overall, they landed on Jaxson Dart out of Ole Miss. It was hard to miss the immediate connection to Manning, who played at Ole Miss from 1999 to 2003. Being that Manning had a long and successful career with the Giants, playing in over 230 regular-season games and winning multiple Super Bowls, he maintains a strong relationship with the organization. Therefore, if Dart needs a mentor, Manning is there to listen or offer advice. However, Manning recently made one thing clear: he's not stepping in for the sake of doing so. "I've told him, 'Hey, I'm here to help in any way. I'm a phone call away, a text away, but I'm not getting in the way," Manning told reporters, according to CBS Sports. Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning smiles before throwing out a ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium before the Toronto Blue Jays take on the New York Yankees on August 4, 2024 in New... Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning smiles before throwing out a ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium before the Toronto Blue Jays take on the New York Yankees on August 4, 2024 in New York City. More Photo byDart's journey with the Giants comes after a 45-game run in the NCAA. He started his college career playing at USC, where he appeared in six games as a freshman. Dart completed 117 passes for 1,353 yards and nine touchdowns. In 2022, Dart debuted for Ole Miss and appeared in 13 games. He started all but one of those matchups. From that point on, Dart saw a major improvement, which helped him work his way into the first-rounder light. For his final NCAA season, Dart threw for 4,279 yards. He accounted for 32 total touchdowns and turned the ball over just six times. From afar, Manning is optimistic about his former team's draft decision. "I've been just impressed with Jaxson, because I've seen him get better every single year," Manning told reporters. "That's what you want your players to do, to make improvements, even though you're playing well, not being content and wanting to make those improvements every day. So I've kind of seen that. It sounds like he's doing that with the Giants. Every day, you're going to learn something, and you're going to make mistakes. That's just part of it, but learning from those mistakes, not repeating those mistakes, and seems like he's just trying to be there, earn the respect of his teammates and his coaches through his hard work." Dart's status on the depth chart will depend on his first NFL training camp. Currently, he's battling against multiple veterans, including Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. The assumption is that Dart is in for a redshirt season as a rookie. While it's a controversial approach surrounding the Giants and their first-round passer right now, all signs are pointing to Dart getting eased into the process.
