HATTIESBURG, Miss. – The Southern Miss Golden Eagles (18-16, 5-7 C-USA) will travel to Mobile, Ala. to battle the South Alabama Jaguars (12-20, 2-10 Sun Belt) in a midweek contest on Wednesday, April 3. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. (CT) at Jaguar Field.
The last time on the diamond
The last time that Southern Miss stepped on the diamond, they came away with a 5-0 win over C-USA foe Marshall in the series finale at the Southern Miss Softball Complex on Sunday afternoon.
Junior right-handed pitcher Abby Trahan had an outstanding performance in the circle for the Golden Eagles in the contest. Trahan tossed a complete-game shutout, allowed just one hit, struck out eight, did not issue any walks and collected her eighth win of the season.
Redshirt sophomore Amber Pack paced the Golden Eagles' offense. The former Brandon High School standout went 2-for-3 at the plate with two runs batted in. Pack notched the hit of the game in the bottom of the second inning after blasting a two-run two-out double to deep left field to put the Golden Eagles on top, 2-0.
Noteworthy moments
Pack's 2-for-3 performance against Marshall on Sunday marked her first multi-hit game of the 2019 season.
Pack was also the only Southern Miss player to record a multi-hit game on Sunday.
Pack on her performance at the plate on Sunday
"Each time I have an opportunity to bat, I make it my goal to make something happen for my team. On Sunday I felt confident in the box knowing that I could get the job done to help my team win!"
Breaking down the all-time record
South Alabama leads the all-time series 15-4-1. The Golden Eagles are 3-5-1 when facing the Jaguars in Hattiesburg, 1-8 in road matchups in Mobile and 0-2 in neutral site contests.
The last meeting between the two
The last meeting between the Southern Miss and South Alabama softball teams occurred earlier in the year when the two teams faced each other in a midweek game in Hattiesburg on March 19. The Jaguars won the game by a final score of 4-0.
The opponent
Head Coach Becky Clark leads the South Alabama softball program. Clark has been the Jaguars' head coach ever since the program began in 2007.
South Alabama traveled to Boone, N.C. this past weekend to take on Appalachian State in a three-game Sun Belt series.
Appalachian State won the series, 2-1. The Mountaineers took a 5-1 decision in game one and a 5-2 decision in game three. The Jaguars captured the win in game two by a final score of 14-5 (five innings).
