Ole Miss Softball Falls 3-0 To Kennesaw State
2/9/2008 | Softball
KENNESAW,
Kennesaw State struck early in the bottom of the first inning after Lyndsay McCurry singled and later scored on an error by Rebel shortstop Ashley Dowdy.
That early score would prove to be enough, as Owl pitcher Angela Lopez shut down the Rebels over seven innings, allowing only two hits. She struck out seven Ole Miss batters and walked none in the complete game shut out.
“We didn’t play like we did the rest of the weekend,” said Ole Miss head coach Missy Dickerson. “We didn’t make the plays when we needed to and it cost us. We didn’t play up to our potential.”
The Rebels would threaten in the first inning. After a double and a wild pitch put Amber Tramp on third, Lauren Grill and Ashley Dowdy could not drive her home.
It would be the closest the Rebels would come to scoring in the game as Ashley Dowdy added the only other Rebel hit in the game, a single in the fourth inning.
The Owls would add two insurance runs on two hits and an Ole Miss error in the bottom of the sixth.
Senior Tara Willitt suffered the loss for the Rebels. She gave up six hits and three runs, none earned, over six innings. She struck out five Owls in the game.
