15 Mar
Summary
- Texas softball secured their second series win against Ole Miss.
- The Longhorns achieved their 23rd consecutive victory, nearing a program record.
- Freshman Hannah Wells hit a walk-off homer and secured crucial strikeouts.
The No. 3 Texas Longhorns softball team has extended its impressive winning streak to 23 games, marking the second-longest in program history. This latest victory came during their series against the Ole Miss Rebels. After securing a 3-1 win on Friday, the Longhorns achieved an 11-2 run-rule victory on Saturday.
Key to Saturday's performance was freshman Hannah Wells, who delivered a walk-off three-run homer to end the game in the sixth inning. Wells also made a significant impact from the pitcher's circle, entering in a high-pressure situation with the bases loaded and recording two strikeouts and a ground out to preserve the lead.
Senior catcher Reese Atwood also had a notable day at the plate, contributing a home run and two RBIs. The Longhorns will aim to sweep the series against Ole Miss on Sunday and potentially match the program's record 24-game winning streak set in 2006.
