Pitcher Walker Powell earned the first win of the day for the Golden Eagles in a 4-1 finish, while five effective innings from Stevie Powers allowed Southern Miss to grab a 5-3 win in Game 2.
The Golden Eagles got off to a strong start both offensively and defensively in Game 1, scoring three runs in the first four innings and allowing no hits to the Crusaders over that span. Bryant Bowen—starting at catcher in the place of an injured Cole Donaldson—and Will McGillis both hit their first home runs of the season in the contest.
