OXFORD, Miss. - The Ole Miss softball team will welcome the No. 8-ranked Tennessee Lady Volunteers to Oxford this weekend for a three-game SEC series. Friday's first pitch is set for 5 p.m., while the Saturday and Sunday contests are slated for a 1 p.m. start.
Sunday's game will be televised by Fox Sports South and the first 100 fans will receive free t-shirts. Dave Neal will serve as play-by-play announcer and Cheri Kempf will provide color analysis. Fans can also hear all the action on 102.1 FM in Oxford, 101.3 FM in Grenada and online at RebSportsRadio.com.
Ole Miss enters the weekend 13-26 overall and 3-11 in the SEC. The Rebels are led at the plate by freshman RT Cantillo, who boasts a .340 batting average, senior Brittany Barnhill, who has a team-high 18 RBI and junior Cali Overbeck, who has blasted a team-best four home runs. Senior Lindsey Perry paces the squad in the circle with a 10-3 record and a 2.75 ERA.
The Lady Vols come to Oxford with a 31-6 overall record, a 9-4 mark in SEC play and are ranked No. 8 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll and No. 9 in the USA Today/NFCA Coaches' poll. Tennessee swept a double header at No. 2 Georgia on Wednesday before its trip to Ole Miss. Sophomore Kat Dotson leads the Lady Vols with a .440 average, 10 home runs and 53 RBI, while freshman Ellen Renfroe has posted an 18-2 record and a 1.37 ERA in the circle.
Tennessee leads the all-time series 29-7 and took both games from the Rebels last season in Knoxville. However, Ole Miss won a pair of games against the then No. 12 Lady Vols in Oxford in 2009.
