The Rebels entered last weekend’s series at No. 15 Georgia needing just one win to clinch a first-round bye. Sweeping the Bulldogs (and LSU taking 2 of 3) would have won Ole Miss the overall SEC title(!!!).
Instead, the Rebels were swept and finished as the five-seed for the SEC tournament. There were a lot of weird things that happened during that series, which we won’t really rehash here. I’m not going to pretend to understand whether Brittany Finney was guilty of throwing 13 illegal pitches over the weekend, but Softball America talked about it here.
