Softball’s big fifth inning helps secure 6-0 victory over Memphis

The Ole Miss softball team (20-14) defeated Memphis (5-27) 6-0 Tuesday, March, 28, on a night where the pitching and offense performed well for the Rebels.

After losing the previous weekend’s series against No. 10 LSU, it was important for Ole Miss to win this game to generate some momentum before they face a stingy Auburn team this weekend.

Getting the start on the mound for the Rebels was right-hander Makenna Kliethermes, and she pitched an absolute gem against Memphis.

The transfer from Oregon pitched five shutout innings, allowed just three hits, two walks and had four strikeouts.
