MEMPHIS, Tenn. – For the first time at the Tigers Softball Complex, the University of Memphis softball team defeated the Ole Miss Rebels by a score of 9-3 Tuesday evening. The only other win against Ole Miss in program history was the first meeting at a neutral site on Feb. 12, 2006. The Tigers improve to 20-7 on the year with another single-game midweek coming up on Wednesday evening.
Ole Miss used three hits in the top of the second inning to jump out to a 2-0 lead over the Tigers. Memphis proceeded to score one run in the bottom half of the inning to cut the lead in half before the Tigers erupted for a six-run third inning to take the final lead of the ball game.
