HOUSTON, Texas (WDAM) On a day when the University of Southern Mississippi pounded out 15 hits, scored 10 runs and saw Ben Ethridge turn in another superb Saturday pitching performance, the Golden Eagles lost ground in Conference USA’s West Division race.
Danny Lynch had four hits and Dustin Dickerson and Blake Johnson combined to drive in five runs at the bottom of the Golden Eagles’ batting order as No. 22 USM beat Rice University 10-1 at Reckling Park.
Ethridge allowed four hits over seven, shutout innings, and USM (28-14, 15-7 C-USA) broke the game open by scoring five runs over a two-inning stretch.
The Predators will be able to host up to 33% of capacity at Bridgestone Arena starting Monday with a home game against the Chicago Blackhawks. That’s an increase of more than 1,500 fans.
The changes mean more fans will be allowed in the lower bowl and suite areas. Fans still are required to wear masks inside the arena except when eating and drinking.
The updates from the Nashville Metro Public Health Department also allow for 40% capacity at outdoor stadiums. Nashville SC in MLS will be able to take advantage of that for the club’s opener Saturday night against Cincinnati.
Rice is out of the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament in Omaha, Nebraska, because of COVID-19 protocols, and its opening match against North Carolina A&T; on Wednesday night was declared a no contest.
