TALLAHASSEE, Fla - The Ole Miss softball team bounced back from a tough 8-7 loss to Miami-Ohio Saturday morning and defeated Furman 10-2 to advance to the semifinals of the Bronze bracket of the Florida State Invitational.

In game one, Miami-Ohio rallied for two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to win a three and a half hour marathon that featured three lead changes, a combined 12 walks, 22 runners left on base and 20 hits.
In the second game, Ole Miss led 3-2 before scoring five runs in the fourth inning and two more in the fifth for a 10-2 lead over Furman. The Rebels held the Lady Paladins scoreless in the bottom of the fifth and the game was called because of the eight run mercy rule.
