ATHENS, Ga. — Gordon Beckham, Lyle Allen, Matt Cerione and Michael Demperio each homered in Georgia’s 14-hit attack as the Bulldogs beat Ole Miss, 11-4, on Sunday to take two out of three in the weekend series and retain the Southeastern Conference lead.

Tim Ferguson hit a home run, his second of the year, for the Rebels (31-19, 12-12) in the third inning.

The Gators (28-18, 13-11) tied things up in the fourth when Bryson Barber hit a two-run homer followed by a solo shot by Riley Cooper.

Florida scored two in the fifth to go up 5-3, but South Carolina answered in the bottom of the inning with four runs, including a two-run homer by Justin Smoak.

The Gamecocks held Florida to just one more run and James Darnell added a two-run homer in the sixth for South Carolina.
