Oxford - Danny Hall's season and coaching career ended Sunday evening, with Georgia Tech losing 11-9 back and forth to Ole Miss in the Oxford area knockout.

Georgia Tech (41-19) loaded the foundation in the finals, but Rebels' Connor Spencer was able to score a strikeout to finish the game and abandon Hall's last comeback attempt in a game with multiple ups and downs on both teams. The loss made Hall become the head coach of the Jackets for 32 years when he announced earlier this spring that the season would be his last helm.

After the game, Hall said he was more focused on how he felt about this year’s team than his personal journey as college head coach.

"(Now) more about the team," Hall said in a post-match press conference. "My deal is that way. But I feel about these guys. I know how hard they work, I know how hard my staff work. A lot of people are pouring into a season. I just tell 'how proud I am."

In the third game in the Oxford area, Georgia Tech played three games in the first inning Sunday as Kent Schmidt and Kyle Lodise, back-to-back with two running and solo Homer, putting the jacket at a 3-0 lead, before Ole Miss won the race for the first time.

Ole Miss (42-20) answered at the bottom of the first, and like Murray State on Saturday night, the Rebels led 5-3 in the frame with 6 hits. Luke Hill started the host team’s scoring with a single from the Reserve Bank of India, followed by several hitters with three home runs by Isaac Humphrey. Hayden Federico added a RBI single to end a brief outing by technical starter Jaylen Paden, who could only record one from the start and was fired from Carson Ballard.

With Georgia Tech leaving the base without scoring at the second top, Ole Miss added another game to the SAC flight from Humphrey, adding the second half 6-3.

The jacket finished third in Carson Kerce's RBI doubles, drove in Vahn Lackey and won the race 6-4 after Lackey had an earlier mistake.

Georgia Tech started Game 4 with a back-to-back home run 6-6 on Drew Burress and Schmidt. That was Schmidt's second day. Caleb Daniel then made two consecutive runs on the right back and right field, pushing the jacket forward 8-6.

Ole Miss made two runs to tie the game 8-8 at the bottom of the fifth inning, thanks to Judd Utermark's solo homer and a few hitters, Mitchell Sanford, took a pedal walk on the pedal.

With Thiel scored two points in sixth and singles, Tech took a 9-8 lead, so there was no restraint in this game. But Ole Miss answered RBI singles again in the second half, with Federico's two outs leading the game 9-9.

Georgia Tech finished seventh in seventh and second and second, but Miss Ole Will McCausland came in to get a back-to-back strikeout to end the threat without damage. The Rebels gave them two points in the next half of the innings, with Will Furniss' RBI singles leading his team to a 10-9 lead.

Ole Miss added another lead to Campbell Smithwick's solo home run, 11-9.

Overall, eight different players recorded at least one of the Rebels, five of whom beat five hits. Humphrey won four RBIs, while the other seven ran. Sanford, Hill, Ferners, Smithwich and Federico all finished with two or more hits.

McCouslan (3-1) won Ole Miss in his two innings of uncensored relief work as he allowed only one hit and hit three. Spencer was allowed to run or hit and hit the eighth by throwing into the last 2/3 of the ninth place. These two follow the pitchers of four other rebels.

Mason Patel (11-2) lost to Tech as he hit two shots on a 1 1/3-inning relief effort for the first time this season.

Jaylen Paden started the technique, lasting only 1/3 of one inning as he allowed five runs to hit five runs. Carson Ballard, Riley Stanford and Connor Chicoli also pitched for the jacket, only Chicoli was not allowed to run.

Eight different tech players led by Schmidt's two, the Three RBI game, and at least one hit rate was recorded. Daniel had two hits and three RBIs, and Burress and Lackey also had two hits.

After losing after the season, Burres received high praise for his retired head coach.

"(Hall) is a legend. He will be one of the names of college baseball guys for 20, 40, 100 years. "It's a blessing to be able to get his guidance." It was so bad that we couldn't finish the game better for him.

"It's terrible. (Hal) deserves more, and he should let us get better notes than losing in regionality. It's on us."

Asked about what he thought the new coach should have hired, Hall spoke again to replace him because he said he had commented on who should be, and he thought his players would agree. But Hall's future looks broader after his career, and he said his hope is that Georgia Tech still has the opportunity to succeed with the right support.

"Technology has supported me and has provided baseball for a long time. I hope that continues," Hall said. "That's my hope that the baseball teams still have high levels of support so they can compete nationwide. I totally hope that this will happen."

Ole Miss’s advancement, which takes Murray State later on Sunday, must beat the racer twice to advance to the super area.

Georgia Tech's super regional drought has now reached 19 seasons. Burress said that despite the current pain of ending the season’s losses, he believes the jacket will be back and the team will be back next year compared to the younger core.

"I have no doubt that we will be the best team in the country for the first week, and it's the best team in the country," Burres said. "I mean we have talent. Over the past few weeks, we've been launching the roster, with the exception of one player, and returning. I don't think anyone else would rather be at Georgia Tech next year."
