USC Baseball Holds Off Fresno State for 2-1 Win
April 13, 2021 | Baseball
LOS ANGELES – The USC baseball team used 11 different pitchers to strand 14 Fresno State runners on Tuesday night in a 2-1 win at Dedeaux Field.
Â
The Trojans welcomed back family and friends for the first time in over a year at Dedeaux Field, treating the sparse crowd to a non-conference win. USC moves to 16-11 with the victory and the Bulldogs fall to 9-16.
Â
The Trojans got a leadoff triple from Tyresse Turner and then Jamal O'Guinn brought him home on a grounder to second to break the scoreless tie in the fourth inning. USC would add their second run in the fifth, when Rhylan Thomas scored on a Fresno State error.
Â
The Bulldogs broke through with a run in the eighth and threatened to do more damage with the bases loaded, but Nate Clow came in and got a groundout and pop fly to center to strand all three runners. Clow would pitch a perfect ninth, setting the side down in order to earn his third save of the year.
Â
Toby Spach earned the win as the pitcher of record when USC went ahead in the fourth. He stranded one in the inning with a strikeout. Clow was the only USC pitcher to toss more than one inning on the night.
