The Ole Miss softball team will wrap up their season today with a doubleheader against Alcorn State. The Rebels (23-31) are looking to finish the year on a positive note after going just 3-21 in the Southeastern Conference.
Ole Miss is coming off a series loss against No. 15 Texas A&M, while Alcorn State is coming off a split series against Mississippi Valley where they won the first game 2-1 and dropped the second game 4-9.
Senior Deanna Rancillio leads the Lady Braves in the circle and is last week’s Southwestern Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week. Rancillio is 2-6 on the year with a 9.10 ERA.
Sophomore Alexandra Harris leads Alcorn State at the plate hitting .341. Harris has hit one home run this season in addition to seven doubles and four triples.
“We’ve still got a challenge in front of us. We’ve still got two games left to play,” Ole Miss assistant coach Mike Perniciaro said of the upcoming doubleheader. “We’re going to come out hard and battle.”
The games are set for 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. today at the Ole Miss Softball Complex.
