The Bulldogs will return to action tomorrow at 4 p.m. to complete its three-game series with the Wildcats. Georgia will look to notch its 50th win of the season.

With the wins the Tigers, who jumped to No. 3 in the latest NFCA rankings released Wednesday, improve their record to 42-8 this year. LSU has now won 12 consecutive contests. Southern Miss falls to 25-27. The win also marked the 100th victory at LSU for coach Yvette Girouard.

OLE MISS Rebels
Ole Miss ended a 22-game SEC road losing streak (dating back to last season) on Sunday, taking the finale of the three-game set at No. 25 Georgia in extra innings, 6-3. It was the Rebels' first victory against a top-25 opponent this season. Freshman Brooke Turner's triple with two outs and the bases loaded provided the game-winner in the eighth. Freshman DeDe Justice homered for the second time in three games for her 11th of the year, tying the UM career record for long balls in only her first season as a Rebel. As a team, Ole Miss boasts at least one home run in each of its last four games and has 27 on the season. The Rebels also improved to 3-0 in extra-inning games in 2002. Ole Miss took one game each from Georgia and Arkansas last week, but has dropped its last four SEC series. The Rebels host No. 5 LSU this weekend in the final home series of the year.

MISSISSIPPI STATE Bulldogs
The Mississippi State softball team (31-24) erupted for nine runs in the fourth and fifth innings combined, then held off a late fifth-inning rally to expel Jacksonville State (32-16) in one hour and 27 minutes with a 10-1 victory Wednesday afternoon at the Mississippi State Softball Field. Kellie Wilkerson, who broke the NCAA single season record with her 13th save of the campaign in the opener against Georgia Tech last week, plated three RBIs and scored a pair of runs on a 2-for-2 showing at the plate, including a pinch-hit double in the third inning. Mississippi State will return to action this weekend as the Bulldogs embark on their last road trip of the regular season, traveling to Fayetteville, Ark., for a crucial three-game set with SEC Western Division foe Arkansas. The two will open up the set with a 12 p.m. Saturday afternoon twinbill and will play the series finale on Sunday at noon.

SOUTH CAROLINA Lady Gamecocks
The Gamecocks went 1-2 against Florida in Gainesville but still hold the lead in the SEC East. Megan Matthews became USC's all-time strikeout leader on Saturday and followed with a no-hitter on Sunday to lead USC to its only victory for the weekend. USC travels to Alabama this weekend for its final SEC Road series of the season. Carolina is 10-4 against the Crimson Tide.

TENNESSEE Lady Vols
After rallying from a 4-0 deficit to take the opener, 9-6, the Lady Vols were blanked two straight times by visiting Auburn, 9-0 (5) and 8-0. Senior Hannah Low was a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI and a career-high two home runs in the first game and sophomore Crystal Bobo picked up the first SEC victory of her career. However, Tennessee would manage just five hits in the next two contests against Kristen Keyes. Following a series in which she hit .375, senior Adrianna Wilson is now batting .374 overall and .385 in league games to lead the Orange in both categories. The Lady Vols have 49 homers this year, three short of the club record set in 1996. UT completes its SEC slate by hosting Florida on Thursday and Friday at Tyson Park.

AROUND THE SEC SEC 2002 SOFTBALL

The Southeastern Conference qualified four teams for the 2001 NCAA Tournament. LSU, Alabama, South Carolina and Florida all made yet another appearance in the tourney, while Mississippi State barely missed the field, despite being one of only four teams with a winning record in league play. LSU and Alabama both secured No. 1 seeds and both hosted a regional championship, marking the first time the SEC has had two member schools achieve such an honor.

Trailing only the Pac-10, the SEC qualified a record number six teams for the 2000 NCAA Softball Tournament. LSU, Arkansas, Mississippi State, Alabama, Florida and SEC Tournament Champion South Carolina all made the field of 48.

South Carolina is the flagship team of the league with a rich history in softball dating back 26 seasons. The Lady Gamecocks have made nine NCAA Regional and three Women's College World Series appearances.

The 1999 season was the first in which the conference was eligible for an automatic beth to the NCAA Championships.
