BILOXI — When a college baseball team plays five games in four days, depth will be put to the test.

Southern Miss passed said exam Saturday with flying colors. Hours after rallying to beat Charlotte 6-5 with a walk-off home run by Taylor Braley to stay alive in the Conference USA tournament, the Golden Eagles got 4 1/3 shutout innings of relief out of right-hander Cooper Jones to help propel Scott Berry’s club to a 10-8 win over the Niners in an elimination game at MGM Park.
