Brasch turned in a stellar six-inning outing against Coastal Carolina, surrendering just a single hit while striking out seven batters and limiting opponents to a .053 batting average in a 7-2 victory that opened the series.

Barrett powered the Golden Eagles with a .556 average (5-for-9) and a slugging percentage of 1.333, launching two home runs, driving in seven runs and scoring four times during the 3-0 week that propelled Southern Miss to the top of the conference standings.

The sweep not only secured the program’s inaugural Sun Belt regular-season title but also underscored the impact of two standout student-athletes whose contributions have been pivotal to the team’s surge this spring.
