HATTIESBURG, Miss. (5/3/25) – Arkansas State baseball (23-23, 11-12 SBC) fell behind early and could not recover in an 8-0 defeat at Southern Miss (34-13, 17-6 SBC) on Saturday night at Pete Taylor Park.
 
Tyler Weimer (1-1) made his third career start, surrendering two runs (both earned) on three hits over 3.0 innings pitched. The Red Wolves' pitching staff recorded 10-plus strikeouts for the fifth consecutive game, tallying 11 in the contest.
 
The Golden Eagles broke a scoreless stalemate with a two-run home run in the third, claiming a 2-0 advantage. In the next inning, a fielder's choice and RBI-single added another pair of runs before a two-run double extended the deficit to six.
 
Patrick Engskov broke the no-hitter in the seventh inning, but the Red Wolves could not capitalize on the single to left field. Southern Miss capped the scoring with another two-run homer in the eighth, and it would go unanswered as the contest reached its conclusion.
 
Matt Adams (4-2) earned the win while Weimer took the loss.
