HATTIESBURG - Southern Miss’ boys of summer officially returned to the diamond Friday for the first time since October.
The Golden Eagle baseball team began formal preparations for the 2016 season with a two-plus hour practice at Pete Taylor Park. Scott Berry’s club opens the season at 4 p.m. Feb. 19 at home against Eastern Illinois.
“I think everybody’s excited,” Berry said. “I think all the coaches and players have been looking forward to this since we came together back in August. I don’t think there’s going to be a lot of teaching. Most of that took place in the fall.
