May 29, 2009

MISCELLANEOUS

• The two teams combined for 11 home runs.

ELON
• 2B Bennett Davis hit three home runs, his 15th, 16th and 17th of the season – his first career three-homer game. It was also his fourth multi-homer game of the season as Davis hit two homers against Furman (Mar. 21), College of Charleston (Apr. 11) and Duke (Apr. 22).
• Davis is the fourth player in NCAA history to hit three home runs in a NCAA Regional game. He is the first to accomplish the feat since Edmund Muth of Stanford hit three homers against Lafayette in 2000.
• 3B Chase Austin hit his 23rd home run of the season, extending his own school record.

• Reliever J.D. Reichenbach worked 3.2 innings, his longest relief outing of the season.
• Starting pitcher Tom Porter allowed a career-high 8 runs in 1.2 innings.

SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI
• Southern Mississippi hit three home runs in the second inning (Bo Davis, Kameron Brunty and Corey Stevens), the most in a single inning all season.

• The Golden Eagles turned their 72nd double play of the season in the second inning. Southern Miss entered the week ranked 4th in the nation in double plays.
