Southern Miss vs. UNO June 1, 2008 Alex Box Stadium - Baton Rouge, La. Post Game Notes
- UNO and Southern Miss met for the fourth time this season, the second most among Golden Eagles opponents. Southern Miss played Marshall six times this year (three regular season and three times in the C-USA tournament).
- Southern Miss improves to 3-1 this year against UNO, and 41-48 all-time.
- Southern Miss is 6-9 all time in NCAA Regional Elimination games.
- Keith Winstead's two home runs today was his first career multiple home run game.
- Today was the fourth time this season that a Golden Eagle player had two home runs in a game. Brian Dozier (at South Alabama on May 13), Michael Ewing (vs. Memphis on May 11) and Kyle Maxie twice (vs. UCF on March 21 and vs. Memphis on May 9)
- Today was the eighth time this season that Southern Miss has hit three home runs in a game. It was also the second time in the Regional, as they hit three in their 13-6 victory over UNO.
- Southern Miss becomes one of the five teams from C-USA to reach the Regional championship Game. Rice and Tulane have yet to lose a game and ECU, Houston and Southern Miss all battled back through the losers bracket with one loss.
- The Golden Eagles two wins over UNO is only the second time in school history that Southern Miss has beaten the same team in a NCAA regional twice. The Golden Eagles defeated South Alabama twice in the 1999 Southeast regional in Tuscaloosa.
