MONTGOMERY, Ala. (Interstat) — Colby Allen pitched six innings of one-run ball and Joey Urban drove in three runs on a home run as Southern Mississippi defeated Troy 6-2 in the Sun Belt Baseball Championship on Sunday evening.

The Golden Eagles, now 44-15, struck first in the bottom of the third inning. Smith doubled to right-center to score Higdon, giving Southern Mississippi a 1-0 lead. Urban followed with a three-run homer to left-center, his 14th of the season, scoring Eubanks and Smith and stretching the lead to 4-2. Troy had taken a brief 2-1 edge earlier on a groundout by Boroff in the top of the third that scored Darnell.

Davis Gillespie added a two-run homer in the fifth, his 14th, scoring Urban and making it 6-2. The Trojans, falling to 32-29, pushed across an unearned run in the eighth on a fielder’s choice by Nelson, but could not close the gap.

Allen allowed seven hits, struck out six and walked none. Kros Sivley earned a save with three scoreless innings.
