Ole Miss left fielder Jessica Puk answered in the top of the fifth with a home run, making the score 6-1.
UAB continued to battle and a single from freshman Olivia Valbak, plus a stolen base, resulted in her crossing the plate on an RBI single by junior Jolie Readeaux, bringing the score to 6-2 in the bottom of the fifth.
Ole Miss added two insurance runs in the top of the seventh inning and held UAB scoreless in the bottom to win the season opener 8-2.
Amy Woodham (0-1) pitched 4.1 innings, giving up five hits, six runs (three earned) and stuck out three batters. Jaycee Cook pitched 1.2 scoreless innings in relief, while Parker Conrad pitched the seventh inning, allowing two runs.

Troy broke the game open in the fourth with three runs on two hits and two fielding errors by the Blazers, which were a pair of dropped fly balls.
The Trojans had three doubles in the bottom of the fifth inning, and the third by Mia Jenkins made the score 7-0. Troy then walked it off on a fielding error by UAB which gave them the 8-0 victory.
