OXFORD, Miss.- The University of Tennessee at Martin baseball team battled but fell 11-5 to Ole Miss at Swayze Field in its midweek contest.

The Mississippi natives had a big night with Arderrius Townsend (home run, double, two RBIs) and Jonah Katsaboulas (double) collecting three-hit games. Blaze Bell (walk, two runs scored) and Jalen Fithian (stolen base, walk, double) had two-hit outings while JT Popick (base hit, two RBIs), Cameron Greene (two walks, run scored), Garner Anderson (walk) and Brody Capps (RBI, walk) also pitched in to the offense.

JP Nunn (0-3) started the game on the mound going two innings with two strikeouts and no walks. Six other pitchers made appearances in the game with Zach Wager (one inning, one strikeout, no walks), Drake Bayles (one inning, no runs, no walks), Austin Gast (one inning, no hits, no runs, no walks), Brock Arender (one inning, one strikeout), Shawn Perez (1.2 innings) and Rett Edwards (0.1 innings pitched, no earned runs) coming out of the bullpen.

Ole Miss (35-17) started the game with the lead through the first three innings, but UT Martin (20-31) responded in the top of the fourth. Bell drew a one-out walk that led to a blast off the bat of Townsend over the wall in centerfield. The Hazlehurst, Miss. native Bayles entered out of the bullpen in the home half and fired off a scoreless inning on a groundout, runner caught stealing and an out at second when the runner tried to go for two.

Gast took over for Bayles in the fifth and sat down the Rebels in order by way of a pop out, flyout and lineout. With two outs and two on in the top of the sixth, Popick smacked a single to plate both runners and pull the Skyhawks within three. Ole Miss was able to get a run back in the home half to get its lead to four.

Perez kept the Rebels off the scoreboard in the seventh when he induced a groundout to first to escape a bases loaded jam. In the eighth, Ole Miss upped its advantage and UT Martin got a run back in the ninth but ultimately couldn't extend the game.

The Skyhawks return home this Thursday, May 15^th at 5 pm. when they begin their final regular season series of the year against Ohio Valley Conference foe SIUE.
