Pepper: This will be Virginia's first game after its marathon game Tuesday. If Virginia beats Mississippi, it will automatically advance to the championship series on Monday; if Ole Miss beats UVa., a second game is forced on Saturday. • Virginia and Ole Miss played on June 15; the Cavaliers defeated the Rebels 2-1 with a walk-off double from Mike Papi. • UVa.'s bullpen has not allowed a run in 10 innings in the CWS. • The Rebels are making their fifth CWS appearance and the first since 1972. Among current SEC teams only Missouri (1964) and Kentucky (never) have been absent from Omaha longer. • Virginia's 15-inning game vs. TCU was the longest by innings and time (4:51) in program postseason history. • Ole Miss had six hits in the first 3.1 innings Thursday, which equaled their combined hits through the first two games. |
