Southern Miss headed to College World Series

GAINESVILLE, FLA. — Southern Miss made school history tonight, beating Florida 7-6 to win an NCAA Super Regional and earn its first trip to the College World Series.
After trailing nearly the entire game, USM scored three times in the bottom of the eighth to take its first lead of the game. Joey Archer’s two-run single tied it, then Adam Doleac scored what proved to be the winning run when the Gators couldn’t turn a double play on Tyler Koelling’s grounder to shortstop.

Mike Mooney’s throw to first was in time to beat Koelling for what would have been the third out of the inning, but it was low and first baseman Preston Tucker couldn’t dig it out of the dirt cleanly.
