The Golden Eagles took two out of three home games against FIU in a series win, accumulating a 10-2 conference record over the weekend that still paces C-USA for first place in the standings.
The first game of the series went just as planned for Southern Miss, blasting FIU 15-4 on the strength of Matt Wallner’s four RBIs and a home run shot. The Golden Eagles were guided on the mound by Kirk McCarty, who struck out seven batters and gave up the four runs.
“It’s big getting a win on Friday,” said right fielder Mason Irby.
