USC takes lead

By Lindsay Schnell - April 06, 2007

Alright, USC was finally able to capitalize with runners on base.

After a single from Green, Owen shot one between first and second that advanced Green to third. USC then put in Mike O'Neill, a speedy freshman, to run for Owen. Duda was up next for the Trojans, and hit one just fair inside the first baseline. Kahalehoe, the OSU leftfielder, had to grab for it twice and the Trojans scored two. USC now leads 3-1.

Anton Maxwell is now in to pitch for the Beavs, as Paterson takes a seat on the bench. Me thinks they left Paterson in one inning too long -- before tonight, Paterson had never gone into the eighth from what we can gather. Kahalehoe just redeemed himself a bit with a diving catch for the second out of the inning.
