Ole Miss softball opened their 2023 season late Friday night in Mexico for the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge. After a promising offseason, the Rebels showed up strong for their first game of the year, beating North Carolina 6-1.
The Rebels tallied a whopping nine hits while only giving up three from the Tar Heels. The Friday night starting pitcher for Ole Miss, Aynslie Furbush, gave up only one earned run in her first start of the season. A solo shot in the first put the Tar Heels up early, but Furbush was lights out from there, not allowing a single hit after the home run.
