OXFORD - The sixth-ranked Southwestern Louisiana Lady Cajuns held Ole Miss to six hits on the afternoon en route to a double-header sweep over the Rebels Saturday.
Ole Miss (25-30 overall) dropped the first game 5-0 and the second game 3-0. The Rebels have now lost six consecutive games, its longest losing streak of the season.
In game one, USL's Melissa Coronado retired 17 of the first 18 Ole Miss batters in picking up the victory. The Rebels mounted a rally in the bottom of the seventh after consecutive singles by Mandy Shklar and Rachel Davenport with no outs. But, Shklar was picked off and Barbato retired Kaci Coffee and Heather Swinney to preserve the win.
USL put up one run in the first and two in the third inning on Rebel starter Brittany Maxey for the game's only runs.
In game two, USL's Micah Barbato retired 10 of the first 11 Rebel hitters and didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning in picking up the decision.
The Lady Cajuns jumped ahead with a two-run home run by Tiffany Clark in the first inning and picked up two more in the third inning on a two-run double by Clark.
The Ole Miss Rebels take on the Florida Gators on Sunday in the final home series of the season. Game one will begin at 1 p.m. with game two beginning at 3 p.m.
