In Game 1, Landry allowed two runs on five hits, walked one and struck out three over five innings. She was throwing a little harder than she has been. Ole Miss scored once in each the first and third innings to win the series opener. The series finale is Sunday at noon. The Sunshine Network will telecast it live.

Kellie Wilkerson turned in a 2-3 performance with an RBI and a pair of runs scored to highlight the Mississippi State offense, but it was McMichael's bat that proved to be the heroic one for the Bulldogs. Wilkerson worked a scoreless seventh to record her SEC-leading seventh save of the campaign. Kentucky knotted the score back up in the top of the third on a mishandled grounder by Mississippi State, then took the lead in the top of the fifth on a throwing error by the Bulldogs. In game one of the doubleheader, Kentucky erupted for seven runs on eight hits in the first three innings of play, then used its pitching to shut down a paltry Mississippi State offense, as the Wildcats used 16 hits to shock Mississippi State, 8-1. Pursell lasted just two-thirds of an inning after surrendering three earned runs on five hits.
