Softball Drops Series Finale to Bulldogs
3/20/2022 | Softball
Rebels Back in Oxford to Take on Missouri Next Weekend
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Ole Miss softball dropped the series finale to Mississippi State 6-0 Sunday afternoon at Nusz Park to conclude its opening weekend of SEC play.
Savannah Diederich made her second start in the circle this weekend for Ole Miss (21-7, 0-3 SEC). Mississippi State (19-10, 4-2 SEC) managed to hand the righty her first loss of the season, racking up 10 hits.
The Bulldogs took a one-run lead in the second on an RBI bunt single. They continued to load the bases, but Diederich was able to get the final out to escape the jam. Mississippi State tacked on three more unearned runs in the fourth. A collision in the infield led to a dropped ball, and three singles helped MSU make it a 4-0 game.
Ole Miss turned to Brooke Vestal to start the fifth but brought Catelyn Riley in after the Bulldogs hit a two-run home run to push the lead to six.
Down to their final three outs, the Rebels notched their first hit of the afternoon as Aynslie Furbush singled through the left side.
To Oxford for an eight-game homestand, starting with SEC foe Missouri on Friday night at 8 p.m. CT.
