Eagles Clip Bulldogs in Midweek Rematch

HATTIESBURG, Miss. | Ethan Bates hit a three-run homer in the eighth to make it a one-run game and threw a seven-pitch, 1-2-3 bottom of the inning but it wasn't enough as Southern Miss beat the Bulldogs, 6-5, before 5,204 on a partly cloudy and warm evening at Pete Taylor Park.
