Ole Miss opened the 2017 softball season this weekend with three wins and a loss at the Easton Invitational. In impressive fashion, the Rebels held their opponents to a combined total of two runs and posted 17 themselves. With a good mix of experienced players and fresh faces, Ole Miss softball fans have reason to be excited.
Loyola Marymount was first up for the Rebels on Friday night. Junior Kaitlin Lee, getting her first Division 1 start, held the Lions to just one hit on 68 pitches. Kylan Becker went yard in the third inning and big hits from Elantra Cox and Miranda Strother helped push the Rebels to a 2-0 victory.
