Softball Rallies for Comeback Victory at North Alabama
3/10/2026 | Softball
FLORENCE, Ala. โ The Ole Miss softball program rallied for a critical, come-from-behind victory, defeating North Alabama, 4-2 in eight innings on Tuesday night.
ย
The Rebels (19-8, 0-3 SEC) tied the game in the seventh inning on a Madi George home run and took the lead in the eighth inning on a two-run double by George. Kyra Aycock, Lilly Whitten and Emilee Boyer combined for eight innings, one earned run and five strikeouts in the win over the Lions (17-5, 0-0 ASUN).
ย
For four innings, the Lions took control of the game, scoring a pair of runs in the second inning behind two Rebel errors and three hits while holding the Rebels hitless.
ย
The Rebels offense finally broke through in the fifth inning, as Kennedy Bunker launched a solo home run to right field to cut the lead to 2-1. However, the Lions kept the Rebels at arm's length, responding with five consecutive outs to take the game into the seventh inning,
ย
Down to the last three outs, George blasted an opposite field shot to left field that dropped over the fence to tie the game at 2-2. That would be enough to force extra innings, as Boyer stranded the lead runner at second base in the bottom of the frame.
ย
Needing another jolt, head coach Jamie Trachsel turned to Rachel Connors in a pinch-hit opportunity. Connors made no mistake, roping a double to left field to set the tone for a big inning. Ryan Starr pinch ran and stole third base, but the Rebels were able to load the bases with back-to-back walks from Taylor Malvin and Mackenzie Pickens.
ย
With just one out remaining, George delivered another clutch hit, roping a double down the right field line to score two and take the lead for good.
ย
Boyer returned for the bottom of the eighth inning and struck out the first batter, before getting two more outs in quick succession to secure the victory.
ย
The Rebels return to action on Friday, traveling to open a three-game series at No. 2 Texas. Game one is set for 5:30 p.m. CT and will be streamed via SEC Network Plus.
