Golden Eagles Soar Back Into Top 10 Rankings
30 Mar
Summary
- Southern Miss baseball team climbed back into the Top 10 rankings.
- A dominant 13-4 win against Appalachian State boosted rankings.
- The team faces Southeastern Louisiana and Old Dominion next.
The Southern Miss baseball team is making a comeback in national rankings after a recent cool-off. Following an initial strong start, the Golden Eagles experienced a dip in weeks five and six, but have now re-entered the Top 10 in week seven. A crucial 13-4 victory against Appalachian State, showcasing a much-needed offensive explosion, is credited with their resurgence.
This performance has seen Southern Miss climb to No. 8 in the D1Baseball rankings, with anticipation for continued success due to the roster's talent. Baseball America has them holding steady at No. 16. While regular-season rankings are important for NCAA tournament seeding, the team aims to replicate last year's success, which included a program-record 18-game winning streak.
This week's schedule features a home game against Southeastern Louisiana, whom they previously defeated, followed by a road series against Old Dominion. Despite Old Dominion's current record, the Sun Belt Conference is proving competitive, with no easy wins expected for Southern Miss, currently fourth in the conference with a 21-7 overall record.
