Another comeback victory for the USC baseball team but this time at the Super Regionals.
The Trojans scored eight straight runs to overcome a three-run deficit and defeated North Carolina, 9-5, before 3,847 at Bryson Field.
USC shortstop Dean Carpentier just hit a grand slam to give the Trojans a 6-5 lead in the sixth inning over North Carolina. Andrew Lamb also homered.
The Trojans have added three more in the seventh inning and it’s now 9-5. Quite a score given that USC trailed 5-1 after five innings.
The Tar Heels led 5-2 as USC ace Mason Edwards went just three innings and struggled with his control.
A key for USC was the bullpen as Chase Herrell, Ben Cushnie and Andrew Johnson pitched six innings and allowed only one run.

Not a good sign when SC’s ace Edwards cannot get to the 4th inning, and the Trojans needed a big break to even get back in the game

Way too negative Sparrow. We came back and won the game. Celebrate! Edwards will do better next outing. He has been great all year.

Nothing but trouble for North Carolina since Coach Bill Bilichik [or whatever his name is] and his teenager squeeze landed…

KAM: A D e m o c r a t in DC says she hates she’s forced to admit the Reflecting Pool now looks good. “I thought it was a stupid idea to paint the Reflecting Pool, but it looks really good. It makes the reflection look extraordinarily prominent in a way it did not before, and I hate that.”
DON: TDS.

Nothing like having a winning streak in sports. Builds confidence. Everyone seems to play over their head. Particularly when you have the streak during the playoffs. Five straight wins.

KAM: The Chicago Bears took another step toward a potential move across state lines.
DON: The Bears’ board of directors voted on June 4 to move forward with a potential stadium in Hammond, Indiana, at a site still to be determined, the team announced on June 5.
“We believe a world-class stadium project in Hammond will transform the region, connecting Northwest Indiana to the South Side of Chicago through the Loop and across neighborhoods and suburbs stretching north of the city,” Bears chairman George H. McCaskey and team president and CEO Kevin Warren said in a statement. “It will bring Chicagoland together and deliver new opportunities to its residents and businesses.”
