No.17 Ole Miss softball is coming off back to back wins over SIUE as they get set to host the Ole Miss Classic in Oxford this weekend.

The No.17 Ole Miss softball team (10-2) has been on a roll over the past 3 weeks. After winding up the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge with a huge win over then No.3 Oregon, the Rebels were supposed to be coming home for the Red And Blue Classic which was cancelled. Of course, that meant Ole Miss would travel to Troy, Alabama for the Trojan Classic. The Rebels picked up wins over Murray State and Tennessee Tech before returning to Oxford.

Ole Miss softball is 2-0 at home with the Ole Miss Classic set to begin Friday. Of course, this will be a huge weekend for the Rebels who have 4 games slated over three days. The Rebels will begin Friday with UT-Martin and then will play two games Saturday against Saint Louis and Chattanooga. The Rebels will finish up the Classic Sunday with Southern Miss.

Ole Miss Softball Fans Are Ready

Ole Miss softball is really hot right now. Pitching has been exactly what we expected and the hitting has been good enough to win close games. Right now the Rebels are on a six game winning streak and could easily finish the Ole Miss Classic with 4 more wins. Of course, this team is built for tourney play and have a good bit of momentum headed into tomorrow.

Senior pitching sensation Kaitlin Lee (7-0) is on fire in the circle this season. In fact the entire pitching staff as done well as a whole and should get strong as the season progresses. Of course we are anxious to see what Lee and her fellow pitchers do this weekend. We also want to see the offense produce.

Next: Highly Anticipated!

Ole Miss softball will take on the UT-Martin Skyhawks tomorrow at the Ole Miss Softball Complex in Oxford. First pitch is set for 5:30pm CT. The game will be televised on SEC Network+. Of course, good luck to coach Mike Smith and the Rebels! Hotty Toddy!
