Ole Miss softball starts back this weekend with five games in three days at the Sand Dollar Classic in Gulf Shores, Ala.. This season is full of intrigue, given what has happened during head coach Mike Smith’s first three years on the job.
Smith has set or broken the school wins record three years in a row and has rewritten the record books, both on offense and the mound. He has consistently recruited top 25 classes, something that never really happened before he came along. His staff earned run average has declined by nearly a run per year.
