TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- No drama this time.

Alabama just used a 3-run fourth inning to grab a rare sweep of No. 9 Ole Miss. The 3-1 win Sunday afternoon followed a pair of one-run wins over the streaking Rebels.

It was Alabama's sweep of Ole Miss since 2006. The program wasn't swept a top-10 opponent since at least 2003.

The Tide (19-8, 6-3 SEC) got five of its eight hits in the defining inning Sunday.

Mikey White

homered,

Wade Wass

had an RBI single, then scored on

Austen Smith's

fielder's choice.

Starter Jon Keller pretty much did the rest.

After using four pitchers in Saturday's 6-5 win, Keller went the whole way Sunday. He limited one of the SEC's top hitting teams to six hits and a lone second-inning run. Alabama still got a double play on Errol Robinson's RBI that scored Colby Bortles.

"I know a lot of people said it was an upset," Keller said. "But there wasn't nothing upset about that. Three days in a row just come out here and just straight compete. I think we wanted it more and I think it's great momentum for us moving forward."

Keller (5-1) threw a career-high 116 pitches, struck out eight and allowed seven hits. He had the first complete-game for an Alabama pitcher since last March.

The Rebels (21-8, 4-5 SEC) entered with the league's second-best batting average (.303) but couldn't get the offense moving this weekend. The visitors hit .262 in the three losses.

Alabama coach Mitch Gaspard saw Keller get stronger as the game progressed.

"I had to make a decision there in the ninth," Gaspard said. "He was right around 100 pitches, but you could really see it in his eyes today. He wanted that game and he wanted to finish. With him being a bulldog and trusting him, we stayed with him and he delivered there in the ninth."

Keller wasn't worried about getting the hook. He went to pitching coach Dax Norris before the ninth inning.

"I told him there's no way," Keller said with a smile. "I have to finish it now. You've come all this way. What's 10 or 12 more pitches?"

A 2-out single didn't bother Keller.

"Well no," he said. "I gave up seven the whole game. One more hit wasn't going to help. Just keep him on first base."

Alabama won the first game

and Game 2 with the

in 10 innings. The Tide faces Louisiana-Monroe at 6:05 p.m. Tuesday before heading to Texas A&M for a three-game series next weekend.
