It was déjà vu for Mississippi State on the final day of the regular season.
Just as happened the previous night, Ole Miss cranked a walk-off home run to beat the 16th-ranked Bulldogs and clinch the series in a rubber match at Alisa and Mark Bourne Stadium. On Friday night, it was Kennedy Bunker who smashed a walk-off home run to give the Rebels a 3-2 win. On Saturday, it was Rachel Connors who hit a 3-run walk-off shot to give the Rebels a 3-0 win.
Connors was pinch-hitting, stepping to the plate for the first time all game.
