upset update

So much for Ole Miss overlooking Jackson State (see previous post). Matt Tracy struck out 11 over seven innings as the Rebels whipped the Tigers 8-0 in Oxford tonight. … Meanwhile, there was an upset of sorts tonight in Jackson, where Millsaps pounded defending NCAA Division III national champion Illinois Wesleyan 15-4 in a 6 1/2-inning, 10-run rule contest. Of course, 11th-ranked Illinois Wesleyan was playing its second game of the day, having beaten Mississippi College 7-5 in 10 innings in Clinton in a matinee. Millsaps, ranked No. 24 in D-III, and the visitors from the north play again Wednesday.
P.S. Among Delta State’s 2011 Sports Hall of Fame class are Dee Haynes, who won an NCAA Division II national player of the year award in 2000, and Jason Page, a D-II All-American in 1996. The inductees were announced today. The ceremony is April 1 in Cleveland.
