Ole Miss set a new program record for home runs in a single season on Saturday while it was trying to save its season at the Oxford Regional. Consider both things done.
Long before the Rebels held off Western Kentucky, 8-6, in an elimination game, Austin Fawley made Ole Miss baseball history by crushing the Rebels’ 109th home run of the season in the 2nd inning. The opposite-field solo shot broke a 2-2 tie and gave the 2025 Ole Miss team the distinction of belting the most homers the Rebels have ever hit in a single season.
It was only the beginning of Ole Miss’s power surge on Saturday, as Fawley added another solo homer in the 4th inning. The Rebels (41-20) smacked 6 dingers in all in the victory that kept their season going, with Fawley, Mitchell Sanford and Judd Utermark each hitting 2 homers as Ole Miss broke the record and then some.
The Ole Miss baseball social media account celebrated the achievement with this tweet:
