FAYETTEVILLE — Southern Miss right-hander Walker Powell, a redshirt sophomore from Fayetteville, will start for the Golden Eagles in today's 2 p.m. game against Dallas Baptist.
It will be the 16th start for Powell (7-2, 3.53 ERA) this season.
"I know he's probably excited and anxious to get out there, coming back home," Southern Miss Coach Scott Berry said. "I have total confidence in Walker.
"I hope he doesn't try to do more than he's capable of doing just because of the atmosphere and the surroundings. If he stays within himself he'll do well."
Powell (6-7, 191) has struck out 58 and issued 14 walks in 79 innings this season
