Box Score

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Tiger softball team dropped their game against Ole Miss 6-0 as they closed out their midweek play. The Tigers (5-27) struggled to capitalize on scoring opportunities with five runners left on base in their scoreless loss.

"We need to find ways to compete with every pitch and every at bat," head coach Stephanie VanBrakle Prothro said. "We need to find ways capitalize when we get on base. We have shown moments of good but not given ourselves the chances through mental or physical mistakes, stick with the process and find ways to get better."
