Summary
The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith breaking down the latest news and notes about the USC baseball program, including the Trojans' going 2-2 last week with a pair of top 20 wins.
They break down how USC was able to get a blowout win over No. 12 UC Irvine for its eighth win in nine games before going on the road to Eugene, Ore. to take on the No. 18 Ducks. The Trojans missed out on some opportunities (or had them robbed away) on Friday and Saturday to drop the series, but bounced back to salvage the weekend with a hard-fought victory on Sunday.
USC star sophomore center fielder Austin Overn joins the Dedeaux Download Podcast after a strong week where he reached base eight times and scored five runs in four games, including hitting a home run. Overn discusses how he's rebounded from a rough start to the season, his emerging power and walks the listener through how he was able to making a leaping catch at the wall to rob a home run for the first time in his career over the weekend.
Overn also talks about the turning point for the Trojans this season and how he tries to display his elite, electric athleticism on the baseball field.
After the visit with Overn, Shotgun and Jack preview a unique week for the Trojans as they will play five games against four different teams in six days, including a rematch with UC Irvine and a matchup with a San Diego team that ranks No. 30 in the RPI during the midweek before taking on a pair of Northern California programs that are tough, well-coached teams that could put a big dent in USC's NCAA tournament resume if the Trojans aren't able to take care of business.
