4 pitchers strike out 17, USM takes series with 5-4 win Sunday over Missouri St.
HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) – Seth Smith’s double in the sixth inning broke a tie, and four University of Southern Mississippi pitchers combined for a season-high 17 strikeouts Sunday as the Golden Eagles rallied for a 5-4 victory over visiting Missouri State University at Pete Taylor Park.
Coupled with Friday’s 4-3 win, Sunday’s decision gave the Golden Eagles (6-2) the best-of-three series with the Bears (4-3). Missouri won 3-1 Saturday.

USM tied the game on Davis Gillespie’s two-run home run in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Gillespie than led off the sixth inning with a single followed by a walk to Braden Luke. Missouri State got an out on a failed bunt attempt, but Smith put a 1-1 pitch from reliver Kaleb Thomas (1-1) into the right-center field gap, to score Gillespie with the go-ahead run.
Relievers McCarty English and J.B. Middleton kept the Bears off the scoreboard over the final three innings, wiggling out a bases-loaded jam in the eighth inning.
English retired the first four batters he faced after taking over in the sixth inning, but sandwiched a pair of singles around a second out in the seventh inning.
Middleton relieved English and promptly gave up a singe to load the bases, He then struck out Cody Kelly to end the eighth.
Middleton picked up two more strikeouts in the ninth inning, picking up his first save of the season.
Armistead allowed four runs in four innings, but only a run was earned, a first-inning solo home run by Zack Stewart. Armistead allowed just three hits, walked one and struck out seven.
Chase Adams (2-0) earned his second win of the week with two innings of scoreless baseball. Adams did not allow a hit, walked one and struck out five.
Thomas took the loss, allowing a run on three hits in 1 2/3 innings. Thomas struck out three, walked one and hit a batter.
Gillespie went 3-for-4 Sunday, with two RBIs and three runs scored. Billy Butler went 2-for-3 with a double and two runs scored.
Gabe Broadus hit an RBI-double, as did Smith, while Luke knocked in USM’s first run with a sacrifice fly.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) – Road construction on Springfield’s northside is affecting access to the Southwest Missouri Humane Society.
MoDOT is realigning the intersection of Norton and Melville Road as part of the I-44 overpass project. The bridge work and intersection project are both impacting the animal shelter.
The shelter sits on Norton Road just west of where the work is happening. Visitors can only reach the shelter by taking the long way up West Bypass to Westgate Avenue, then onto Norton Road.
MoDOT says the intersection at Norton and Melville is supposed to be closed for two weeks. The bridge project, as a whole, is supposed to be completed by the end of the year.

Organizers working to turn back Missouri’s congressional redistricting map spoke Tuesday about collecting signatures to put the effort to a vote by citizens.
People Not Politicians submitted more than 300,000 signatures Tuesday to the Missouri Secretary of State’s Office. The signatures hope to force a statewide vote on redistricting approved earlier this year by Missouri politicians.
KSHB 41 anchor Caitlin Knute spoke with one of the volunteers behind the effort.
Volunteer describes collecting signatures for petition on Missouri redistricting
“I think people in rural areas want to follow the Constitution, and I think it was pretty clear this was not done within the parameters of the Constitution,” volunteer Elizabeth Franklin said.
Redistricting typically occurs after a census every 10 years, but that wasn’t the case this year in Missouri. Critics on both sides of the aisle note that it splits Kansas City into three districts, lumping parts of the city in with much more rural areas.
A spokesperson for the Missouri Secretary of State’s office confirmed receipt of 691 boxes of signatures.
“The elections division will proceed with scanning, counting and sorting the sheets for verification by local election authorities,” the spokesperson said.
