Memphis Rolls On; Southern Miss Out

Three Run Double by Amar Key Hit in 8-5 Win
By Mark Anderson

The Golden Eagles were eliminated from the C-USA Tournament Friday night when the Memphis Tigers won the Friday elimination game by a score of 8-5.

The key to the Tigers’ victory on Friday was the fifth inning. Trailing by a score of 4-2, Memphis came back in a big way,. With runners on second and third, and a3-1 count on Bill Moss (hitting 351), the Golden Eagles elected to load the bases and face Adam Amar (hitting .401). Amar got a pitch on the outer part of the plate and drove it deep to right center, clearing the bases for the Tigers and putting Amar on second. He wouldn’t stay there long, as Goss’ single would bring him hime. Those two hits gave the Tigers’ a 6-4 advantage and they never looked back.

Memphis goes on to face Rice tomorrow in the 12:30game.
