OXFORD, Miss. - In her first competition as a Rebel, freshman Becky Testin batted 7-for-11 to lead Ole Miss to a 3-0 mark Saturday in day one of the fourth-annual Rebel Softball Fall Classic.
The host Rebels' tournament-opening game with Christian Brothers was an 11-2 UM domination. Batting leadoff, Testin, a native of Auburndale, Fla., hit 3-for-3 and scored three times, while sophomore Desiree Layman drove in four runs. Junior hurler Leslie Day surrendered one hit over the five-inning mercy rule affair.
Ole Miss followed up with a 5-4 win over Delta State, fueled by a complete-game three-hitter by junior Lindsay Price. Testin and fellow freshman Brooke Turner collected two hits, and Layman blasted a home run to left field.
The Rebels ended the first day of play with a late night victory over Jackson State, 4-0. Freshman righthander Lindsay Whatley carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning and finished with a two-hit shutout. Testin, Layman and Nicole Alger all picked up RBI for Ole Miss.
MUW posted a 2-0 record on Saturday, knocking off Delta State 3-1, and blowing out West Alabama, 6-0. CBU is 1-1 with a victory over Jackson State 2-1, while Delta State is 1-2, having defeated West Alabama 9-3.
Six games are on the slate for Sunday with West Alabama and Christian Brothers kicking off the final day of action at 9 a.m. CST. Ole Miss faces UWA at 3 p.m. and MUW at 7.
