On the third pitch of the game, Matthew Guidry followed a Gabe Montenegro leadoff single and hit a two-run home run over the center field wall. The home run was part of Southern Miss’ seven-run rally in the first inning that led to a 9-0 win and weekend sweep over Old Dominion on Sunday.
“We got a lot of momentum,” Guidry said. “The offense is coming around and we’re just playing baseball and having fun. We have to keep building off that. We’re just getting in the flow. Whenever the offense is going, whenever everyone is trusting each other and doing their jobs it’s hard to not bring that confidence to the plate.
