Ole Miss softball headed to UCLA for Super Regional

OXFORD — This weekend’s NCAA Super Regional between No. 12 Ole Miss and No. 5 UCLA will be featured as one of the nation’s marquee matchups, with all three games set for a national TV audience on the ESPN Networks.

The three-game series gets underway Thursday night in Los Angeles at 8 p.m. on ESPN. Friday’s game two is also set for 8 p.m., and will air on ESPNU, while the if necessary game on Saturday is slated for a 6 p.m. first pitch on ESPN.

ESPN’s nationally-known crew of Beth Mowins (play-by-play), Michele Smith (analyst), Jessica Mendoza (analyst) and Holly Rowe (sideline) will have the call from super regional action.

The Bruins (45-13) head into the weekend winners of six-straight after sweeping 3-0 in their NCAA Regional last weekend, with wins over Lehigh, San Jose State and Cal State Fullerton. Ole Miss (43-18) also swept its NCAA Regional, defeating Southern Illinois, No. 22 Arizona State and North Carolina en route to the regional title.
