Southern Miss baseball goes 3-1 in the Lake Area Classic

Due to scheduling issues, Southern Miss found its way into playing 5 games in 1 week. 4 of these were in Lake Charles as Southern Miss participated in the Lake Area Classic. The Eagles are off to a better start in 2020 (9-3) than they were in 2019 (7-5) that saw them win 40 games, capture the CUSA Tournament Championship, and finish 2-2 in the LSU regional that saw them win 2 games over the Sun Devils of the Pac 12. ( also one of the most prolific offenses in the NCAA nin 2019) How did the Eagles play and compete this weekend? Let's take a look at the team and their performance in the Lake Area Classic.

Looks as if Golden Eagle bats have come alive in Lake Charles...

The Eagles have scored 28 runs in the 3 games they have played, with 1 more to go at 1pm tomorrow. This is a great sign. If the bats stay hot and the pitching continues to be consistent (yes they did give up 11 runs in the 2nd game, but there are those games where you have to outscore your opponent and pitching is just not good that game), this young team will win a lot of games. Remember,a lot of the guys they are asking to pitch are Freshman or Sophomores. They will only get better as the season progresses. At this time last year they were 6-5 with losses to Miss State, Gonzaga (they swept the Eagles in a rain shortened seasies), and New Orleans. Eagles are 9-2 this season with losses to Ole Miss (half the team was sick) and a very good Central Arkansas (that team will probably win the Southland Conference and their Friday starter is as good as any the Eagles will see this season). I think Coach Berry has to be upbeat about this young team.
