The Golden Eagles (6-2), traveled to New Orleans, La. to take on the University of New Orleans Privateers (4-5). Spotty pitching once again became a concern for the Golden Eagles as they gave up an early 4-0 lead.
Walker Powell started the game for Southern Miss. Powell made it through the first two inning recording only one hit and two strikeouts. The third inning would be a different story as he allowed three hits and four runs.
This momentum swing would be enough for the Privateers to take into the next for their first and only lead of the contest, 5-4.
