The No. 4 University of Arkansas softball team had only three hits in its SEC Tournament opener Thursday night against Ole Miss, but for a team with record-setting home run power and stellar defense, it was enough to get the job done.
Two of the Razorbacks’ three hits were home runs, and Arkansas took down Ole Miss 3-0 behind senior pitcher Mary Haff’s shutout. The victory set up a semifinal matchup against tournament host Florida, which defeated Kentucky 9-3 to advance to the semifinals.
“I knew with this offense behind me that you go out there and pitch loose with the best offense in the SEC,” Haff said during a postgame SEC Network interview.
