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.

It seems the offensive juggernaut that was awakened in the Texas regionals is alive and well in Chapel Hill. Fight on!

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.
