The Southern Miss softball team (26-16, 11-7 C-USA) is now on a nine-game winning streak following a three-game road sweep of UAB over the weekend. The sweep comes on the heels of a midweek win over Mississippi Valley State on April 10 and the team’s first series sweep of the season against UTSA from April 6-7.
In Game 1 of the series, Southern Miss took a narrow 2-0 win over the Blazers. Destini Brown hit a solo home run in the top of the third inning to give the team a 1-0 lead. Madison Rayner’s walk during a bases-loaded situation in the fifth inning allowed Samantha Papp to score for the team’s other run on the day.
