  Speaker 1: region back in Hattiesburg Pete Taylor Park, with Virginia Jacksonville
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: State and Little Rock.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, first, what school getting me right? And my second
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: thought was sc school. This thing might be one of
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: the tougher divisions than it is in the country and
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: regions in the country. It truly is. I think you've
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: got to two seeds and an Arkansas Literrock team that
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: pushed the issue to the brink last year. So it's
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: a tough region, it's a deep region and gonna be
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: some good baseball playing in Hattsburg.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: So talk a little bit about Southern miss as they
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: come into this health of the program just a you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: obviously the state of Monument. You got to think playing
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: back at home, and there's a lot of motivation coming
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: out of that dugout this weekend.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, just a team that playing really well,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: playing with a lot of confidence, playing really loose, think
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: about it. With the schedule they had to also win
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the Some Belt regular season and tournament championship. Really impressive,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: tenth straight forty plus win season, another region host and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: now really just just an outstanding year from coach Stavlo
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: on a team that they had to replace a lot
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: of guys, but they were able to do that for
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the poor Tortal and you know just through being able
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: to develop talent and looking up down this lineup, it
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: is a really good, solid team with some outstanding starting pitching.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe the deepest pitching staff, well it probably his
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: deep pitch staff he's had since twenty twenty two, and
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: that was a that was a grip that had a
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: lot of guys that got drafted. This is a pitching
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: staff that has three sophomores that'll be back next year
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: that we call the sophomore three. I mean you're talking
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: one A, one B, one C. They're interchangeable. You look
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: at their e ER just I mean this is the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: starters the area you got Grayton Harris, I mean he
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: has just been phenomenal eight to one with a three
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: point two e R conference, I mean something out picture
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: of the year. His whip is one point two. You
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: look at Camden Clark, uh he is eight zero on
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the season at e R A two point eight eight
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: whip point nine eight and camp and Sunstrom your third
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: start sixth and four, two point seventy nine with a
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: whip of one point one. Uh So, a really deep
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: starting pitcher staff that you really think that z them
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: up well for a regional.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Hea Hinton talking Southern miss Baseball as they get ready
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to host a regional come up this weekend Wednesday edition
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of the program. I agree with you on the uh
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you know the strength of this region. I mean, Virginia
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: is a team that obviously has been there, They've done that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville State has been just a dog on the you know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: several Mississippi products from right here in central Mississippi. So
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that match up Virginia versus Jacksonville State, that's going to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: be a fascinating matchup. Little Rock I don't know a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: whole lot about, but you know, you can never overlook
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: these four seeds. Sometimes they punch above their their weight class,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: so to speak.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, got that one picture, They got that one picture
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: that's stood, and they have a variety who is been
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: out standing for him this season? And uh, I think
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: he's a Bringham Westmoreland. I mean he's six and two
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: with a three point oh e r A. I mean,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: he's pretty good this season for him. So I think
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: you'll probably see him against Southern Miss. Whose Southern Miss
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: pitches not sure yet, they haven't made that decision. So
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: you know, every every team when you get into the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: field of sixty four has one dude own it that's
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: a pitcher. You just hope that your team, to me,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: pitching wins regional, pitching win's super Regional, which every team
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Messagepa's pitching comes out ahead usually. And I just think
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Southern Miss this year has a talent starting and in
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the bullpens to get him a long way.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Southern Miss will never talk about this, but we can
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: talk about it. Matched up with a Gainesville regional Gainesville, Florida,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Florida Ryder Miami and Troy. Florida is the favorite, of
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: course in that region by Vegas, not by a whole lot.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Miami's obviously got a formal team. Troy's got a good team.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts of that matchup. If Southern Miss gets out
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: either traveling to Gainesville or everybody will be pulling down
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: at Hattsburg for Miami or somebody else to win that region.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So that's super region and it will be next week
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: in Hattisburg. Your thoughts of that crossover matchup Gainsville Hattisburg.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: It's interesting because the last time so them it went
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: to the College World Series, they had to go to
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Gainesville and beat the Gators two games to make it
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: in super regional. So kind of interesting that that's that's
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: that could be where they go. Now, look, that's a
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: tough regional. Troy, the way they played in some built tournament,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't I wouldn't look past them. Miami is always
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: a talented bunch. Florida's got their hands full in that
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: region as well. I would watch out for Miami and
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Troy in that region because Troy could hit baseball, They've
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: got some pitching depth, and they could make things tough
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: for Florida. So that's gonna be a fun regional to
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: keep your out on.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Heath any of the party news on this, as far
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: as you know weather, anything that could kind of throw
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a wrench into this weekend.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the weather's gonna play a key factor
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: in this. When you're talking sixty seventy eight chance to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: reign the whole week in. I think they're going to
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: be looking to play these games and windows, So if
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: you're coming to the Hattiesburg region, we'll get ready. May
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: have some late night, maybe some nine, ten, ten thirty
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: start times. You know, it played havoc last week for
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I know the SECNS TOUN built tournaments in Alabama, so
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: it could also whether it's gonna play a haven it
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: this weekend. But men, it is just great to have
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: regional baseball back into the NCAA tournament. It's a great
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: time of the year. And think of this other miss team,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: veteran group. I think they're ready to play and I
• 7:36
