HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- The Southern Miss baseball team returns to action for the first of four road contests to end the regular season when they travel to New Orleans, Tuesday, to face Tulane in a 5 p.m., makeup contest at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium.
The game is a makeup of an Apr. 14 rainout.
Heading into this contest, the Golden Eagles (31-16-1) bring in a season-best, nine-game winning streak to the tilt which is the longest for the school since winning 10-straight games in 2013. Their active streak also ranks tied currently for the fifth longest in Division I baseball.

Following the Tulane contest, the Golden Eagles travel to Murfreesboro, Tenn., for a three-game, regular-season league series Thursday-Saturday. Game times are 6 p.m., on both Thursday and Friday with a 12 noon game on Saturday. The regular-season finale will be televised on ASN.
