Southern Miss hosted the Northwestern State Demons for a three-game series over the weekend. The Pete Taylor Field gave USM a generous home-field advantage as the Golden Eagles improved to 7-0 on the season, continuing an explosive start to the season collecting 38 hits, 30 RBIs and six home runs during the series.
In the opening game, Northwestern State started the scoring in the fifth inning with a RBI single from right fielder Bret Underwood.
Southern Miss, however, did not take long to respond. After the Demons reached on a throwing error, shortstop Nick Dawson advanced to second base and later scored on a sacrifice fly to tie the game at 1-1.
