Trojans Fall on the Road to Cal State Fullerton, 10-4

FULLERTON, Calif. – The USC baseball team dropped its first true road contest of the season to Cal State Fullerton on Tuesday night, falling to the Titans 10-4.
 
The Trojans drop to 5-10 on the year, while CSUF moves to 7-7.
 
USC got on the board first with a solo-homer from Matthew Acosta in the first inning, but the visiting Trojans wouldn't score again until the seventh inning. Meanwhile the Titans took the lead with two runs in the third and then broke the game open with a five-run sixth inning.
 
USC scored once in each of the final three innings, but could never mount the comeback they needed. The Trojans had nine hits on the day, but left six runners on base.
