Summary

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's first non-winning week of the season after the Trojans suffered their first loss at Dedeaux Field in a top 20 matchup with Oregon State and then went across the country and came away with a conference road series win. They also talk with USC hitting coach Travis Jewett and preview a big opportunity for the Trojans as they travel to No. 1 UCLA after a midweek matchup with UC Santa Barbara.

In the first half of the show, Jewett joins to discuss how the Trojans were able to bounce back from a poor showing in the midweek to put up 29 runs in a series win at Maryland and how the focus of the offense is on bunching together quality at bats to create two to three big innings per game. He also talks about the advice he gives to a hitter like Maddox Riske, who is putting the ball in play and often with hard contact but not seeing results, as well as his approach for proven veterans that fall into a funk and how a lineup is built.

After a break, Shotgun and Kasey take a look at the Trojans' 2-2 week that included a poor start against Oregon State, a bounce back offensive performance to open the series at Maryland, a lackluster day of execution on Saturday and a dominant Sunday rubber match effort..

Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans' stand in the rankings and previewing a massive week for USC as it takes on UC Santa Barbara on Tuesday before a battle for city and Big Ten supremacy with an opportunity to make a huge statement against No. 1 UCLA.
