Perry Leads Rebels Past Maryland, Ole Miss Falls To FAU
2/20/2010 | Softball
BOCA RATON, Fla. - Junior Lindsey Perry pitched a complete-game shut and Courtnie Ghinaudo picked up a clutch two-out hit as Ole Miss (5-4) knocked off Maryland 2-0 on day two of the FAU Kickoff Classic.
The Rebels jumped on the scoreboard in the top of the fifth. With two down in the inning, catcher Kelly Nolan reached on an infield single and moved to third after Maryland second baseman Nikki Maier booted Cali Overbeck's infield single, giving Ole Miss runners on second and third. Center fielder Courtnie Ghinaudo then looped a single into left to score Nolan and Vangie Galindo misplayed the ball allowing Overbeck to come home and give the Rebels the only runs they would need.
Nolan and Overbeck both posted a hit and a run scored in three at-bats, while Ghinaudo added an RBI single in two trips to the plate.
Perry (2-0) pitched seven scoreless innings for the shutout win. She struck out two and scattered three hits. Its was her third career shutout and first of the season.
Game Two
Florida Atlantic's Taylor Fawbush pitched seven scoreless innings and the Owls got two early runs as FAU knocked off Ole Miss 2-0 at the FAU Kickoff Classic on Saturday.
The Owls struck in the top of the first when right fielder Amber Barton lined a double to deep center to score two runs and give FAU a 2-0 advantage.
That would be enough runs as Fawbush limited the Rebels to only one hit in the game, an infield single by right fielder Alyssa McGovern in the fifth.
After giving up the two early runs, Ole Miss starting pitcher Brittany Barnhill (2-1) settled in and allowed no runs the rest of the way. She struck out seven and gave up only four hits in the complete-game loss.
Ole Miss will wrap up action at the FAU Kickoff Classic tomorrow at 10 a.m. against Maryland, before returning to Oxford for next weekend's Red & Blue Classic.
