No. 12 Southern Miss take two games from FIU

The No.12 Golden Eagles (23-11, 9-4 C-USA) closed out their three-game series against Florida International University (17-19, 7-8 C-USA) in explosive fashion with a 13-1 mercy rule win on Sunday.

The Golden Eagles started the series off hot on Friday night behind junior Stevie Powers’ complete game shutout, 5-0. Powers was consistent throughout his outing, tossing 10 strikeouts while allowing nine hits and only one walk.

The Southern Miss offense gave Powers all the support he needed, led by sophomore Matt Wallner’s ninth home run of the season to open the scoring in the top of the second inning.
