TAMPA, FLA. -- Kaci Coffee's single in the top of the eighth inning drove in two runs and sealed a 6-4 win over the University of Wisconsin at the Reebok Invitational on Wednesday.
The win also stopped a four game losing streak for the Rebels and improved Ole Miss' overall record to 15-7.
The Rebels jumped out to an early lead on the Badgers as Mandy Shklar scored on Stephanie Vaglica's triple in the first inning. Vaglica scored later in the inning to give Ole Miss a 2-0 lead.
The Badgers battled back to take the lead with three runs in the fourth inning, but Vaglica drove in her second run of the day in the sixth inning to tie the score at 3-3 to set up Coffee's eighth inning heroics.
Jennifer Hughes, who relieved starter Bobbi Wurth in the fourth inning, picked up her fourth win of the season going five innings and allowing two runs on three hits and striking out five.
Earlier in the day, Ole Miss dropped a 2-0 decision to Central Michigan. Amanda Fine took the loss for the Rebels going six innings and allowing two runs on seven hits.
The Rebels travel to Tallahassee for the Florida State Invitational on March 12-14.
