USC had its alumni baseball game last weekend.

The stands at the new Dedeaux Field did not yet pass inspection, so the boosters who came for the alumni game had to sit down in the bullpen with the porta-potties away from everything.

Among those who showed up to festivities the night before were Lars Nootbar, Mark McGwire and Bret Boone.

• USC guard Chad Baker-Mazara is out for today’s gme at Ohio State.
• I’ve been looking for pictures from this game for a long time and finally found some, which I will write about in tomorrow’s history column.
