OXFORD — Ole Miss scored some runs. And then it scored some more runs. And when it was done scoring those runs, it scored even more runs.

When it was all over, the Rebels set a school record for runs as they crushed Alcorn State 29-1 in a midweek baseball game Wednesday at Swayze field.

Ole Miss had 23 hits, including five home runs and six doubles, and scored in all six innings in which it batted. The game was halted by the mercy rule after Alcorn batted — and scored its only run — in the top of the seventh.

Alcorn’s run was scored on an RBI groundout by Brandon Robinson. Its batters struck out 10 times.

“I think we did pretty good. It’s just one of those situations where you have to stay within yourself, swing at good pitches that they give you and go about your at-bats the same way,” said Ole Miss third baseman Luke Hill, who was 3-for-3 and scored five runs. Consistency is a really big thing. We were able to do that and put up a ton of runs so it was pretty fun for us.”

Eight Alcorn State pitchers combined to walk 11 batters, hit four more, and throw six wild pitches. The Braves (4-25) did not commit an error, meaning all 29 Ole Miss runs were earned.

Alcorn has allowed 10 or more runs in 24 of its 29 games this season. This was the fourth time it has given up more than 20. Its pitching staff’s cumulative ERA is 13.63, which ranks last among the 299 NCAA Division I teams.

Five Ole Miss players — Judd Utermark, Isaac Humphrey, Campbell Smithwick, Ethan Surowiec and Luke Cheng — had at least four RBIs each for Ole Miss. Humphrey and Owen Paino had four hits apiece.

Cheng homered twice, while Utermark, Humphrey and Surowiec all went deep once.

Surowiec’s three-run home run in the sixth inning — the first of the freshman outfielder’s college career; he’d only had eight at-bats in six games prior to Wednesday — accounted for the Rebels’ final runs and also set the school record for most in a game. The previous mark of 28 came against Illinois College on March 9, 1989.

Ole Miss also set a record for most RBIs in a game, with 27. The previous high of 25 came last season in a 25-2 win over High Point.

No. 6 Ole Miss (26-7, 8-4 SEC) will have a much more difficult challenge in its next game, when No. 5 Tennessee (29-4, 9-3) — the defending national champion — comes to Oxford for a big three-game Southeastern Conference series beginning Friday at 6:30 p.m.

“Just proud of our guys. Obviously we’ve always talked about the midweek challenge. Be where your feet are. You can’t look ahead. You’ve got to play these games, and I thought we played real mature,” Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco said. “We played as clean as you could. We pitched it well, we hit it well, we played as well as you could in these two games. I think we continued to get better and now tomorrow you can focus on Tennessee in practice.”
