Listen to the Ole Miss radio call for the final out of the College World Series

Play-by-play announcer David Kellum had the call on Ole Miss radio once the Rebels got the final out to become 2022 College World Series champions.

The Rebels defeated the Sooners 4-2 Sunday to earn the program's first national title in history. Kellum, who's famously been the voice of Ole Miss athletics since 1978, shouted in excitement as Rebels closer Brandon Johnson struck out Oklahoma's Sebastian Orduno.

"He struck him out on a breaking ball!" Kellum exclaimed, "and the Ole Miss Rebels are your national champions!"

Kellum shared the championship moment on social media and wrote about his happiness for coach Mike Bianco.

There are plans to celebrate Monday as the team makes its return to Oxford. The championship parade is scheduled for Wednesday.
