SUMMARY: The University of Southern Mississippi has taken steps to prevent overdose deaths by installing emergency kits containing Narcan in residence halls on its Hattiesburg campus. This initiative, made possible by a grant from the Jimmy A. Payne Foundation, makes Southern Miss the first Mississippi college or university to provide overdose emergency kits stocked with Narcan, instructions for use, and CPR masks in campus housing. The grant also funded the purchase of 300 doses of Narcan, with 50 doses available in the emergency kits and the remaining doses reserved for students who undergo Narcan training. Narcan rapidly reverses opioid overdoses and can potentially save lives.

SUMMARY: In a crucial Charlottesville Regional game, Mississippi State narrowly missed taking Virginia into extra innings due to a botched double-play by second baseman Amani Larry. Virginia took an early 2-0 lead, countered by a three-run homer from Mississippi State's Hunter Hines. Despite strong pitching from Jurrangelo Cijntje, the game was tied in the seventh. In the ninth, Virginia capitalized on a ground-rule double and ensuing errors to win. Mississippi State faces St. John's in an elimination game, with the winner needing two victories against Virginia to advance. The Cavaliers need just one more win for a super regional spot.
