Ole Miss softball swept the No. 11 LSU Tigers this weekend in their first ever sweep of a ranked SEC opponent.
Last Friday, the No. 22 Rebels kicked off the weekend with an afternoon 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. double-header. Ole Miss head coach Mike Smith called on right hander Kaitlin Lee to face off against LSU’s Carley Hoover on the mound.
Lee held the Tigers’ offense, ranked 19th in the nation, to just three hits and struck out five batters as the teams battled it out in front of a rowdy Oxford crowd. After seven innings of squandered scoring opportunities, including one during the third inning that left two Ole Miss runners stranded in scoring positions, the SEC rivals entered extra innings.
