The earlier of the 2 Friday elimination games at the Women’s College World Series ended after just 5 innings of play. The nightcap stretched deep into the evening, requiring extras to separate Ole Miss and Oregon.
In the end, it was the Ducks who emerged with a victory, walking off the Rebels in the 10th inning for a 6-5 victory. The loss officially ended the season for Ole Miss, which finished 42-21.
“Incredible, hard-fought game,” Ole Miss coach Jamie Trachsel said afterward. “Obviously, you don’t want to be on this side of it, especially in the World Series. But to our team, just super proud of them. Proud of the season. It was special, the run that we had, the growth that we made throughout the entire year.”
The Rebels beat Arizona to win the Tucson Regional, then beat Arkansas 2 games to 1 to win the Fayetteville Super Regional and earn the program’s first-ever trip to the WCWS.
Against Oregon on Friday night, the Rebels struck first on an RBI single from Persy Llamas with 2 away in the top of the first, but Oregon scored twice in the bottom of the inning to go up 2-1.
That lead held until the top of the fifth, when Llamas cracked another RBI single to tie the game at 2-all. Again, Oregon answered with runs of its own in the bottom of the inning to go back on top. The Ducks hit 2 singles and a double to score 3 runs in the frame.
Ole Miss rallied in the top of the seventh. The Rebels led off the inning with a single from Lair Beautae, a double from Aliyah Binford, and then a 4-pitch walk for Llamas. Lexie Brady scored 1 run with a single and then, down to its final out, Jamie Mackay singled to left field to score 2 runs and tie the game at 5-all.

In the 10th, Ole Miss hit back-to-back 2-out singles through the left side to place runners on first and second, but Oregon’s Lyndsey Grein was able to strand them both and escape the inning without any damage. The bottom of the frame then began with a single and a throwing error that put runners on second and third for the Ducks.
Ole Miss caught the runner out at third on the next plate appearance, but another single from Oregon’s Kai Luschar loaded the bases with just 1 away. A walk-off walk to Kedre Luschar, Kai’s sister, officially ended the game and sent the Rebels home.
