If a silver lining was to be found in Southern Miss' weekend disappointment against UAB, the Golden Eagles now know exactly the postseason path they must travel.

Southern Miss dropped its third consecutive Conference USA baseball series with a 13-10 loss to the Blazers Saturday afternoon at Pete Taylor Park.

And that loss in the regular-season finale narrowed Southern Miss' postseason possibilities to one: To make a fourth consecutive NCAA Regional appearance, the Golden Eagles will have to win next week's C-USA tournament.

"It's that simple," Southern Miss coach Scott Berry said.
