USC Baseball's Offense Explodes Late for 15-4 Win Over Wagner
March 05, 2022 | Baseball
Â
Adrian Colon-Rosado hit a three-run homer for USC's first hit of the day, giving the Trojans a 5-4 lead that they would only build on. USC moves to 8-2 on the year with their sixth straight win, while Wagner drops to 1-7.
Â
The Trojans did put up a pair of runs without the help of a hit through the first five innings, getting a couple of sacrifice flies. Wagner scored a run in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth innings to take a 4-2 lead into the bottom of the frame.
Â
A pair of walks in the sixth put two on with two outs in front of Colon-Rosado and he would smash the first pitch he saw off the scoreboard in right to put USC in front. Nick Lopez also doubled home a run in the inning to give the Trojans a 6-4 lead.
Â
USC's offensive outburst only continued as the Trojans scored six in the seventh and three in the eighth. Garret Guillemette hit a three-run homer in the seventh and Trevor Halsema hit a two-run double. Colon-Rosado also added a run-scoring double in the seventh to his big offensive day. Tyresse Turner, Rhylan Thomas and Matt Keating all added RBI in the eighth.
Â
Colon-Rosado finished the game with a career-high five RBI, going 2-for-3 at the plate with three runs scored.
Â
Carson Lambert picked up the win as the pitcher of record when USC came back. He gave up just one run in 3.0 relief innings. Ethan Reed tossed a scoreless ninth to close out the win. Tyler Stromsborg gave up two earned runs and struck out six in his 5.0 innings as the starter.
