A pair of pitching debuts and hot bats helped guide the Golden Eagles to an 8-0 win over Houston Baptist and then a 12-4 win over Central Arkansas on Friday.
“Game one I thought there some jitters there,” Southern Miss head coach Wendy Hogue said. “Defensively we didn’t have any errors. Abby was not without blemish but man she did the job. I thought they played well the first game. Anytime that you can get a shutout and play five innings that’s a good day.”
Southern Miss totaled eight hits against the Huskies with senior Sarah Van Schaik starting the day with a two-run RBI double in the first inning.
