Rain Stalls Southern Miss' Sun Belt Showdown
A sudden downpour forced officials to halt the seventh‑inning stretch of the Sun Belt Tournament matchup between Southern Miss and Troy on Thursday evening, with the scoreboard showing Troy ahead 8‑2 at the moment of suspension.
This interruption marks the third weather‑related pause for the Southern Miss squad in the tournament, underscoring the volatility of outdoor play in May. Earlier in the week, a similar delay pushed back the initial meeting between the two clubs by more than eight hours, a game that Southern Miss ultimately edged 7‑6.
If the Golden Eagles can overcome the rain‑shortened contest, they will advance to the championship showdown slated for 1 p.m. on May 24. Conversely, a Troy victory would set up a rematch at 9 a.m. the following day to determine the team that secures the title berth.
