USC Baseball Season Concludes: Final Match for Trojans
In a mind-boggling conclusion to the Corvallis Regional final of the NCAA tournament, Oregon State demolished USC with a dominating 9-0 win on June 2, 2025. This crushing loss sent the USC Trojans packing, as their season came to an abrupt halt, while the victorious Beavers advanced to the Super Regionals.
The Trojans, who were aiming to make a serious run in the tournament, suffered a humiliating defeat. Despite their best efforts, the USC offense failed miserably, tallying only three hits and failing to steal a single run throughout the entire game[1][3].
It's hard to ignore the impressive pitching display by Oregon State, with their hurlers consistently throwing mid-90s fastballs that outmaneuvered the USC hitters. In the first half of the game, freshman James DeCremer held USC scoreless in five innings, allowing only two hits[3]. Following DeCremer, sophomore Eric Segura stepped up and threw three scoreless innings, pulling a comeback from his first-inning stumbles against Saint Mary's[3].
To add salt to the wound, Sophomore Laif Palmer entered the game after the third hit by USC, inducing a double play and securing another groundout to officially close out the defeated Trojans' fate[3]. As a result of this heartbreaking loss, USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz expressed frustration and disappointment, still proud of his team's resilience[1].
