Duplantis finished the night against Southern Miss 2-for-5 and scored a run. He now sits in 2nd place behind Mississippi State outfielder Jake Mangum for the SEC All-Time hits lead.
Duplantis will have a shot to build on his record breaking career throughout the rest of the NCAA tournament as the Tigers host Florida State in the NCAA Super Regionals starting Friday.
