Hunter will be making his last start ever as a Golden Eagle at The Pete tonight! I will be updating score every inning. I will be back to normal updating every at bat tomorrow.

I don't know if I have ever seen as dominating a performance on the mound as I saw tonight. 9 innings 2 hits 16 K. I remember a great performance by Sandlin a few years ago. To do what Hunter did in a game with no score was incredible. Your thoughts?

If the Eagles finish .5 games behind or tied with La Tech at the end of the season, then that game we lost at UTSA because of weather wouldn't need to be made up. However, if USM finished the season .5 games ahead of La Tech, then USM might have to make up that game at UTSA. It would decide which team get a 1st round bid in the tournament. There is that week before the conference tournament. It might actually be a good thing to play a game or 2 that week to stay sharp. You thoughts about this??

Rock piles at 10:00 AM sharp for everyone. GO # 19 GOLDEN EAGLES!!!

The Golden Eagles dropped another midweek contest as they fell at home to Southeastern Louisiana 5-3. The Eagles have not had much luck this season in midweek games going 1-5.

According to USM Game Notes Wehunt is starting off on the mound tonight. It will probably be Johnny Wholestaff after that to get some needed work in. SEL are 25-15 this season and no pushover. Eagles need more wins in the midweek games.

Lineup is same as normal.

A good sign is the bullpen hasn't been used extensively. If the bats keep up, the team has a chance at the autobid. I stood by the bullpen yesterday and thanked the pitchers for their effort and next time I'd see them is on tv for the championship game.

On this week's episode of To The Top Talk- we discuss Nick Sandlin's debut, Tim Jones signing with the Jaguars, baseball, softball, track, beach volleyball and more! #SMTTT

I think they may go with Best. He has been hit and miss this season on the mound but he has electric stuff when on. He started the season off getting a start, this may be a chance for redemption and with the tournament coming up, he may be solid option in long relief or spot starting. Your opinions????

Southern Miss has now won five of the last six games over Rice.

* Southern Miss is one win shy of recording their 19-straight 30-or-more win season, which ranked sixth-best at the start of the 2021 season.

* While Charlie Fischer recorded his first four-hit game of the season, Danny Lynch also tallied his second four-hit game, while Blake Johnson added his second-three hit game as well versus the Owls.

* Southern Miss improved to 22-4 when they score first in a game this season and are 309-76-1 under Scott Berry when they do that.

As I am getting ready for work this morning, I just read that my area is under a flash flood watch until SUNDAY AM. The Eagles will be lucky to get games in this weekend.

However, since Southern Miss has offered him 5 additional schools have offered him including New Mexico. He states on his Twitter that he will not commit until May 1st so we will have to wait to find out how it goes for Southern Miss.

Eagles in a must win game to keep rankings up....
