Penn vs Southern Miss Prediction & Pick

Penn pulled off unexpected upsets over Auburn and Samford to reach this point but got a taste of what the Golden Eagles are all about on Sunday. The Quakers only tallied 5 hits and were hindered in the field with 3 errors. Their chances of turning things around on Monday afternoon seem rather low.

That is because Southern Miss could have Tanner Hall back on the mound following his great outing on Friday (9 innings, 1 earned run). Hall is 12-3 on the season with a 2.12 ERA and has tallied 118 strikeouts in 106 innings. Even a short relief outing could provide a spark for the Golden Eagles.

I like Southern Miss to punch their ticket to the Super Regionals for the second year in a row.

Final Score Prediction: Penn: 5 | Southern Miss: 7

Penn vs Southern Miss Best Bet

Sunday's game featured a score of 3-2 before the Golden Eagles erupted for 8 runs in the top of the ninth inning. It was a pitcher's duel that featured standout performances from guys like Justin Storm and Eli Trop. Look for a similar outcome on Monday afternoon given that fewer than 14 runs have been scored in each of Southern Miss' last nine games as well as in each of Penn's three regional games.

Bet: Under 13.5 Total Runs (-114)
