Rebel Softball Shuts Down Iowa State 7-0
2/17/2007 | Softball
In the Rebels’ first shutout win of the year, Willitt (2-0) struck out a career-high seven batters and allowed four singles in the complete-game victory.
Ole Miss pounded out 11 hits, including home runs by freshman third baseman Lauren Grill, junior first baseman Lauren Rowe and senior designated player Mary Jane Callahan. Callahan led Ole Miss with a 2-for-4 performance and a career-high four RBI, while freshman shortstop Ashley Dowdy and freshman outfielder Alyssa McGovern also collected two hits.
Ole Miss took its first lead of the tournament with a three-spot in the bottom of the second inning. After Dowdy led off the frame with a double that hugged the third-base line, McGovern singled to right-center to make it 1-0 Rebels. Courtnie Ghinaudo reached on a bunt single and Rowe on a fielder’s choice, then with two outs Callahan singled up the middle to score both runners.
After tossing a no-hitter through the first four frames, Willitt surrendered a pair of singles in the fifth, but got strikeouts for the final two outs to keep the Cyclones from capitalizing.
Grill hit the second home run of her young career in the fifth with a moon shot over the stands behind the left-center field fence.
Rowe made it a 5-0 advantage when she drilled her second home run of the year with a laser over the left-field stands. Elizabeth Holbert followed with a single up the middle before Callahan brought in two more with her first long ball of the season, a rope that wrapped around the left-field foul pole.
Courtney Wray led the Big 12’s
The Rebels return to action at 7 p.m. on Saturday with a contest against Purdue of the Big Ten.
