Golden Eagles slam Blazers, sweep series Barrett Negus Printz Writer
The Southern Miss Golden Eagles used a pair of six run innings on their way to a 13-3 opening game Conference USA series victory over the UAB Blazers on Friday night at Pete Taylor Park. Trailing 1-0 going into the bottom of the fifth of game one, the Eagles exploded for six runs off Blazer starter Tanner Bryant. The rally began with four straight singles to start the innings, with Chase Fowler and Dillon Day each knocking in a run. Travis Creel drew a second
straight walk off Bryant (2-6), scoring the third run, and Isaac Rodriguez followed with a single, making the score 4-1. The Blazers then went to the bullpen to face Mason Robbins, who drew a walk, scoring the fifth run before run number six scored on a Tim Lynch double play. The Blazers cut the lead to three in the seventh with two runs off Southern Miss starter Jake Drehoff (2-4), who struck out seven in 6 2/3 innings while giving up three runs, all earned. The Eagles added a single run in the eighth on a Fowler groundout before exploding for six more runs again in the eighth, four with one swing of the bat. After three
walks and two outs, Blake Brown connected on a Chase Davis pitch, clearing the left-center field wall for his first grand slam of the season. The last two runs came on pinch-hit singles by Nick Dawson and Connor Barron. Daniel Wineski collected his second save of the year by holding the Blazers to two hits on two strikeouts over the final two innings. Chase Fowler had three hits and Blake and Bradley Roney had two apiece, leading the Eagles at the plate in the season high 13-run offensive performance.
