After a blowing out Mississippi Valley State on Wednesday, Southern Miss dropped two games to visiting LeMoyne over the weekend. Errors, walks and young arms seem to be the biggest challenges for Scott Berry's staff so far. Young pitchers are being thrown in the fire and the team is missing the productivity from key positions. Berry has been proactive in trying to find the right combination to put on the field with several lineup changes in the first seven games. The Golden Eagles (4-3) will try to right the ship on Wednesday when they host Louisiana-Monroe. The Warhawks (2-3) can be a dangerous team to face and already have a victory over nationally ranked Ole Miss this season.
After dropping a mid-week game to South Alabama, the Southern Miss softball team rebounded by winning the Southern Miss Invitational. The Golden Eagles four victories came over Belmont, Central Arkansas, Indiana and Jackson State. Coach Howard Dobson will take his 11-2 squad to Fayetteville, Arkansas this weekend for the Razborback Invitational. USM is scheduled to play Drake, Iowa State, Eastern Illinois, Louisiana-Lafayette and Arkansas during the three-day tournament.
