March 12, 2024 | Baseball
IRVINE, Calif. – The USC baseball team dropped a tight one to CBU on Tuesday night at Great Park in Irvine, falling 3-2 to the Lancers.
USC falls to 4-12 with the non-conference loss, while CBU improves to 12-5.
Garren Rizzo made his first career start and was solid through 4.2 innings, but ended up allowing the go-ahead run to cross in the fifth. Mason Edwards, Michael Ebner and Jared Feikes combined to hold the visiting Lancers scoreless the rest of the way.
CBU put up a pair of runs in the first inning, but USC came back with a run in the bottom half of the first to make it 2-1. From there both pitching staffs settled in, with the Trojans tying the game in the third, only to see Mitchel Simon hit a solo-homer in the fifth for the Lancers. Austin Overn homered in the first for USC.
