OXFORD, Miss. The Ole Miss Rebel softball team will welcome the No. 15 Georgia Bulldogs to Oxford for a double header on Wednesday beginning at 4 p.m. at the Ole Miss Softball Complex.

 

Ole Miss (15-15, 0-9 SEC) enters the week after knocking off Central Arkansas and dropping a three-game set to Mississippi State last week. Wednesday is “Workers Wednesday” at the ballpark.

The Rebels are led by sophomore third baseman Lauren Grill, who has a .337 batting average, 17 runs scored, 31 hits, nine doubles, four home runs and 22 RBI. Catcher Amber Tramp leads the Rebels with a .296 batting average in conference games. She has collected eight hits in 27 at-bats so far in SEC play.

 

Freshman Lindsey Perry has a team-low 1.18 ERA and Becky Nye leads the team with six wins and 70 strike outs on the season.

 

Georgia leads the all-time series with Ole Miss 21-7 and took both games played last season. The Bulldogs have won 11 straight in the series with the last Rebel win coming in Oxford in 2003.

 

Georgia (30-8, 3-3 SEC) enters the midweek twin bill coming off of its fifth tournament win of the season, going a perfect 4-0 to win the Georgia Softball Spring Fling. The Bulldogs posted two wins over both the Albany Great Danes and the Kent State Golden Flashes in the tournament.

 

Victoria Sanders leads the Bulldogs with a .319 batting average. She has started 37 of Georgia’s 38 games this season. Kristin Schnake is close on Sanders’ heels with a .315 batting average. Melissa Wood leads Georgia with seven home runs and 30 RBI on the year, while Alisa Goler has a league-high 14 doubles. Kate Gaskill leads the squad with 14 wins and a 0.92 ERA, which ranks first in the SEC.

 

The Rebels will travel to Tuscaloosa, Ala. this weekend for a three-game set with the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide. The Rebels and the Tide will play a double header on Saturday beginning at 1 p.m. and conclude the series on Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Alabama Softball Complex.
