Did Reece Ewing's grand slam-robbing catch save Southern Miss baseball's Regional host bid?

It will forever live in the official box score as an F7.

But few of its kind have been as big as the one that ended the top of the third inning at Pete Taylor Park Friday. The catch, made by left fielder Reece Ewing and labeled "the play of the game" by coach Scott Berry, likely prevented a Dylan Goldstein grand slam and could perhaps end up being as pivotal as any other play in Southern Miss’ pursuit of one of the 16 NCAA Regional host bids. Because without it, the Golden Eagles might not have defeated FAU 5-0 to improve to 43-15, all but sewing up the program’s third all-time Regional host.
