Southern Miss took a series win over Rice, but Head Coach Scott Berry and the Golden Eagles have to find a way to finish games and complete a series sweep at that.
Junior right-hander Nick Sandlin started the series off on Friday, providing a career-high eight-inning performance that held the Owls to just one unearned run on two hits. Rice gifted four straight bases loaded walks, and shortstop LeeMarcus Boyd’s two- run double in the eighth inning put it all to rest. This led Southern Miss to a 12-1 route of the Owls to start the weekend.
