Southern Miss vs Tennessee Prediction & Pick
Keep in mind Southern Miss jumped out to a 4-0 lead in both Game 1 and Game 2, but a blown lead on Sunday kept head coach Scott Berry's squad from moving on. The Golden Eagles will now have to lean on the depth of its pitching staff after team ace Tanner Hall couldn't get the job done in Game 2.
The good news for Southern Miss is that depth has been a strength all year long as the team ranks 16th in WHIP (1.33) and 19t h in strikeouts per nine innings (10.2). It's worth pointing out that the Golden Eagles are a dominant 27-6 at home on the year, while the Volunteers are 6-13 on the road.
Back an upset as Southern Miss goes back to the College World Series for the first time since 2009.
Final Score Prediction:'Southern Miss: 5 | Tennessee: 4
