HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - University of Southern Mississippi right-hander Walker Powell threw a complete-game no-hitter Saturday afternoon in the first seven-inning game of a Conference USA doubleheader with Middle Tennessee State at Pete Taylor Park.
Powell, a senior from Fayetteville, Ark,, came within a walk of a perfect game in the 6-0 win over the Blue Raiders, as he faced one batter over the minimum 21 for a seven-inning game. He struck out a career-high 12 batters in posting his second consecutive, complete-game, seven-inning outing on back-to-back weekends.
