Southern Miss Softball Shuts Out Alabama State, 5-0 in Montgomery
3/13/2019 10:55:00 PM | Softball
The Golden Eagles have now recorded four shutouts on the season.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The Southern Miss Golden Eagles (14-10) shutout Alabama State (9-10) in Montgomery, Ala. on Wednesday night.
Â
Southern Miss shortstop and Mobile, Ala. native Lacey Sumerlin had a big night at the plate in her home state on Wednesday.
Â
Sumerlin put the Golden Eagles on top, 3-0 in the top of the third inning after smashing a three-run home run deep over the left field wall.
Â
The third inning home run also marked the third of the season for the junior.
Â
Heather Hill added the fourth run of the game to the scoreboard for the Golden Eagles after reaching base safely on an infield single that scored Tata Davis.
Â
Southern Miss' fifth and final run of the game came in the top of the sixth inning when Madison Rayner drilled an RBI double to score Sarah Van Schaik.
Â
Much like Tuesday night, the Golden Eagles benefited from quality starting pitching in Wednesday night's contest, courtesy of junior right-hander Abby Trahan.
Â
Trahan tossed a total of six innings in the game without allowing a run, picking up her fourth win of the season.
Â
Southern Miss will now focus their attention on their upcoming C-USA series against Florida Atlantic. The Golden Eagles and the Owls will square off in a doubleheader on Saturday, March 16 beginning at 1:00 p.m. (CT). Game two will follow shortly after the conclusion of game one.
Â
The two teams will meet again in a single game series finale on Sunday, March 17 at 1:00 p.m. (CT). The series will be played at the Southern Miss Softball Complex in Hattiesburg, Miss.
