Ole Miss softball will participate in the Florida Atlantic University Strike Out Cancer Tournament this weekend from Feb. 19-21 after going 2-2 during their spring season debut. The Rebels clutched a pair of wins against the University of Alabama-Birmingham Blazers and the Belmont Bruins in the Trojan Classic last weekend with two losses against the Troy Trojans and one loss against the Blazers.
The Rebels are set to play teams such as Iowa State and FAU at the tournament with the first game against Iowa State on Friday, Feb. 19. The game against the Cyclones will be a reunion for Ole Miss’s new head coach Jamie Trachsel, who served as head coach for the Cyclones in 2017.
Rebels Split on Day Two of Trojan Classic
TROY, Ala. – Saturday was one of those all-or-nothing days for Ole Miss at the Trojan Classic.
The day started with the glass half full game as the Rebels whipped Belmont 10-2. In game two, however, the glass shattered, and the Rebels fell to UAB, 13-5.
In the first game, Ole Miss exploded for ten runs and ten hits in the six-inning game.
Jessica Puk hit her second homer of the weekend while Paige Smith and Ally Mena blasted their first home runs of the season.
Puk finished with three hits, while Tate Whitley had a pair including a double.
