Nick Day hit two of a season-high four home runs for FIU to fuel the Panthers' sweep of No. 13 Southern Miss in a 13-8 win Saturday afternoon at the FIU ballpark.
Day hit a pair of two-run home runs. Eddie Silva belted a three-run home run and Kenny Meimerstorf connected on a two-run shot to provide the brunt of the FIU offense.
The Panthers (28-27, 15-15 Conference USA) now head to the Conference USA tournament where they begin play Wednesday in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Southern Miss (36-18, 20-10 C-USA) will host the conference championship from Pete Taylor Park.
