The Diamond Dawgs face the Golden Eagles of USM tonight in Pearl at Trustmark Park. The Diamond Dawgs are the designated home team for the game. USM has already defeated Auburn 3-1 and Bama 9-2. Southern Miss has a team batting average of .313 and are tied for No. 4 in the country in the latest national statistics for most home runs with 33. Sophomore third baseman Taylor Braley leads the Golden Eagles in home runs with eight. The Golden Eagles have 3 batters hitting .333 or better on the season. Jr. Mason Walley is a rightie who is 1-1 this season with a 4.26 ERA makes his first start against the Bulldogs. For the Diamond Dawgs Konnor Pilkington gets the start. Tonight's batting order is Robson, Mangum, Lowe, Collins, Reid H (DH), Cody Brown, Marrero, Holland, & Gridley. Kruger, Alexander, Rooker, Stoval & Smith are good bets for late inning appearances but not getting the start tonight. Given the sketchy nature of HailState+ at work, I might not be able to know what is happening in the game until I get home from work...2 hours behind yall now.
