The Ole Miss softball team lost to Auburn 13-3 on Sunday afternoon at Jane B. Moore Field, ending their series with the Tigers. The Rebels, with a record of 30-22 and 4-17 in SEC play, initially took an early lead but could not sustain it against Auburn’s offensive surge.

In the first inning, Auburn took an early advantage with a sacrifice fly and an error. Ole Miss responded quickly in the second inning, with singles from Grace Thompson and Tenly Grisham creating scoring opportunities. Mackenzie Pickens drove in two runs with an RBI single, tying the game at 2-2. Madi George then added an RBI single, giving the Rebels a 3-2 lead.

However, Auburn’s offense exploded in the fourth inning, scoring 11 runs to take control of the game. The Tigers’ big inning was highlighted by multiple hits and runs, which proved decisive. Despite efforts to rally, Ole Miss was unable to overcome the deficit.

Ole Miss’s Madi George set a new school record with her 56th run batted in this season. The Rebels return home for their final series of the year, hosting No. 17 Mississippi State in a three-game set starting Thursday at 6 p.m. CT. The games will be streamed on SEC Network Plus.
