The Southern Miss softball team is now 4-0 on the young season after earning an 8-6 win over Tennessee Tech and an 9-1 run-rule win over Houston Baptist on Saturday during the Black and Gold Invitational. Freshman left fielder Madison Rayner had two big games at the plate and pitcher Kaylan Ladner had a solid performance in her first start in the circle.
Southern Miss got on the board early in the bottom of the first inning on a Destini Brown sacrifice fly, which was followed by a run scored by sophomore Alyssa Davis on a Heather Hill groundout.
