After spending nearly the first month of the season on the road the Ole Miss softball team finally broke the seal on it’s completed new stadium with a 4-0 victory over McNeese State on Wednesday.

The Rebels (13-3) picked up their eighth straight win off Aliyah Binford’s two-run home run in the first inning, her first of the season, and a RBI double by Taylor Roman in the fourth. Roman scored off a fielder’s choice later that inning.

Pitcher Miali Guachino picked up her seventh win of the season by giving The Rebels a complete-game effort. McNeese State got five hits off Guachino but she struck out 10 and walked another hitter.

The other big story was the new softball stadium being completed. Work started ahead of the 2024 season and the Rebels played in it though there were limited crowds due to the ongoing construction of the stadium.

Women’s basketball head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin threw out the first pitch ahead of the game.

Tuesday kicked off a nine-game homestand which concludes with its Southeastern Conference opening series against Arkansas. Next up is this weekend’s Ole Miss Classic with games against Murray State, Nicholls State and South Alabama.
