What’s the saying about how insanity is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
USC’s baseball season is one loss away from being over after a shocking 5-4 loss to Texas State on Friday night.
The Trojans led 4-3 going into the ninth after a home run in the eighth by Adrian Lopez.
So what happens in the ninth? An error, of course, to let a runner on base. One out later, Andy Stankiewicz inserted reliever Adam Troy, who immediately gave up a 2-run homer.
Last weekend, Troy gave up a 3-run homer to UCLA in the ninth inning of USC’s 7-5 loss to the Bruins.
Did we mention USC batters struck out 12 times?
So now USC ace Mason Edwards will take the mound today for an elimination game against Lamar. The game is at 1 p.m. and will be on ESPN+, which means few will watch it.
wolfman, you know i am loathe to ever contradict you, but even old Chucker Bucker thinks you are being a bit tough on trOJie baseball! after all, the defense was stellar against the Bruins, it’s not like they have stunk it up on the field this season! i humbly predict both teams will fight their way back through the losers’ bracket!
one odd item: ESPN did not list the Trojan game in their NCAA schedule/scoreboard yesterday, and today it is absent again. very peculiar. all the other regionals appear to be listed! did somebody at SC piss off ESPN???
