HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Southern Miss baseball returns to the road this weekend when they travel to Troy for a three-game Sun Belt Conference series.

The series will include a 6 p.m., Friday contest, followed by a 3 p.m., Saturday game and a 1 p.m. Sunday tilt. All three games can be seen via ESPN+ as well as heard on an affiliate of the Southern Miss Sports Network.

The Troy series opens a string of playing 12 of the next 16 games away from Pete Taylor Park.

The Golden Eagles were supposed to start this road swing with a Tuesday midweek contest versus Ole Miss at Trustmark Park in Pearl, but the game was called in the bottom of the fourth inning with Southern Miss leading 2-1 due to unplayable field conditions. The game was called after several instances of sod dislodged from the field causing players to slip. The game was called a no contest and it will not be replayed this season. The Golden Eagles have played in Pearl almost yearly since the 2006 season.

Southern Miss and Troy have played 31 times in baseball dating back to the 1998 season. The Golden Eagles lead the series, 19-12, including a 9-7 victory over the Trojans on March 10, 2020, which turned out to be the last game for the Golden Eagles that season before it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2023, the Golden Eagles have played 10 games that have been decided by two runs or less this season and are 7-3 in those contests. The team is 5-2 in one run games and 2-1 in two-run games. Since the start of the 2010 season under Scott Berry, the Golden Eagles are 180-119 in games decided by two runs or less, including 111-74 in one-run games. Last weekend, all three Georgia Southern contests by one or two runs.

Following the Troy series, Southern Miss returns home for a Tuesday non-conference game against Southeastern Louisiana. Game time is set for 6 p.m.
