Coach Mike Smith and No.9 Ole Miss softball (30-10, 9-4) hosted the Missouri Tigers (23-18, 6-8) at the Ole Miss Softball Complex Friday. Because of expected inclement weather in the Oxford are for Saturday the Rebels were forced to begin the series with a doubleheader. Ole Miss softball entered the weekend SEC series coming off a tight 3-2 midweek win over UAB and were looking to extend their 3 game win streak.
In game-one, after two scoreless innings, the Rebels struck first with 2 runs in the bottom of the third to take the 2-0 lead.
