Ole Miss shuts out Baylor to open NCAA Tournament

A two-run shot from Lexie Brady and a masterpiece pitching job by Catelyn Riley sent Baylor to the loser’s bracket as Ole Miss shutout the Bears 3-0 in the Salt Lake City regional opener.

Riley was damn near untouchable for six innings of work, and the Rebel offense scratched across three runs in a game that seemed like it could have been a blowout with a couple more hits. Brady’s two run homer in the top of the second set the tone for the entire game.

Baylor was only able to get three hits on the day, but the Rebel defense has to be credited with some great play as well.
