Southern Miss (15-29, C-USA 5-10) looked to gather momentum after losing six games on the road and losing at home against Ole Miss this past Wednesday. The Golden Eagles had the chance to improve their record but only managed to win one game in the threegame series against the University Alabama at Birmingham (15-24-1, C-USA 7-4-1).
The first game started slow for both sides, despite the Golden Eagles scoring in the bottom of the first inning to take their only lead of the game, 1-0. The next two innings consisted of three and outs for both sides.
