After dominating Lamar on Saturday, USC baseball played another elimination game Sunday afternoon. The Trojans battled Texas State in a rematch of Friday’s tournament opener with a trip to the final of the College Station Regional on the line.
Once again, USC’s offense delivered in a big way, as the Trojans held off elimination. After putting up 19 runs on Sunday, they scored 15 on Sunday as Andy Stankiewicz’s team cruised to a 15-4 victory to eliminate Texas State from the tournament.
USC has now scored a combined 34 runs over its past two games. The Trojans have survived the losers bracket and now advance to the regional final, where they will face host Texas A&M.
USC will not have to wait very long to play again. The Trojans and Aggies will face off at 6:00 p.m. Pacific time/8:00 p.m. local time Sunday evening, just an hour after USC’s first game wrapped up.
With the Trojans coming out of the losers bracket, they will have to win two games to win the regional, while Texas A&M will only need to win once. A USC victory Sunday night would set up a decisive game on Monday, while a loss would end the team’s season.
