BATON ROUGE, La. - The Ole Miss softball team fell to No. 5 LSU Sunday, 11-1, in the Rebels final SEC game of the season. The Tigers (47-8, 24-3 SEC) sweep the three-game set.
Ole Miss (18-39, 5-22 SEC) jumped on the board with a run on the first inning. Amanda Lehotak walked and then scored on a Jennifer Poore double to left field. Poore, a freshman from San Diego, hit 2-for-3 in the game.
LSU responded with a three in the bottom of the first with two coming on an April Janzen home run. The Tigers added four more in the third, highlighted by Christy Connor?s three-run homer, and four more in the fourth to earn the eight-run mercy rule.
Ashley Lewis (17-3) picked up her second win of the series, while Holly Burris (2-13) lasted two innings in the loss. Lindsay Price tossed two innings of relief for the Rebels.
