Freshman Brayden Dowd hits his first career home run and finishes with four RBIs to lead USC to a 7-4 victory over California in the Pac-12 tournament.
Freshman Brayden Dowd hit his first career home run before finishing with four RBIs, Josh Blum threw two innings of scoreless relief for his 10th save and USC beat California 7-4 on Friday to earn its ninth straight victory and a spot in the Pac-12 tournament championship game. USC , which advanced past pool play for the first time in program history on Thursday, will play either Stanford or top-seeded Arizona for the final Pac-12 title on Saturday.
California had the bases loaded with no outs in the third inning before USC starter Tyler Stromsborg struck out Rodney Green Jr. and got Peyton Schulze to hit into a double play. USC went ahead in the fourth when Dowd sent a three-run shot over the right-field wall for a 3-2 lead. Dowd added an RBI ground out in the sixth. Cal tied the game 4-4 with two runs in the seventh, but USC put a pair on in the bottom half before Austin Overn brought one home with a sacrifice fly.
