Ole Miss won a program-record 31st game in a  5-3 over Memphis Tuesday night at the Ole Miss Softball Complex.

“Breaking the record with still three weeks left in the season is a testament to the hard work that they’ve put in,” Head Coach Mike Smith said. “I’m so happy for them.”

Including this win, pitcher Madi Osias needs just two more to break the single-season wins record set back in 1997. Osias pitched five innings on Tuesday, allowing only two runs and striking out four. She was relieved by Kayla Landwehrmier who allowed one run in two innings.

Elantra Cox scored the first run after walking and stealing second, third and home. After adding those three steals, Cox now has 50 in her one and a half career seasons.

In the bottom of the fourth, Alex Schneider blasted a solo home run into the jumbotron to give the Rebels a 2-0 lead.

The Tigers would answer in the top of the fifth when Lindsay Crowdus hit a two RBI double to tie the score at 2-2.

Alex Schneider would put the game away in the bottom of the fifth with a three RBI home run into right-center to put the Rebels up three at 5-2.

“When I initially hit it, I thought, ‘This is going somewhere.’” Schneider said.

The Rebels will continue SEC play this weekend when Arkansas travels here to Oxford, and the Rebels are very confident in their abilities against the Razorbacks.

“We’re expecting a sweep with how we’ve been playing,” Miranda Strother said.

Coach Smith is also excited for this weekend’s series.

“We’re going to go in there and play our game.” Coach Smith said. “We’re not going to change anything just because it’s Arkansas because they’re struggling a little bit, but in the end, we’re going to do our part and hopefully get a sweep this weekend.”

Arkansas is currently 1-14 in SEC play, and was outscored 55-0 last weekend vs. Auburn.

The Rebels will play at 6 p.m. Friday, 7 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday. Saturday’s contest will be broadcasted on the SEC Network.
