The events that occurred at Dedeaux Field in Southern California on Friday, reminded Sun Devil fans of the team’s form in years prior. Seventh-ranked Arizona State (25-3, 8-2 Pac-12) lost for a second straight time in their 10-6 loss to USC (11-17, 4-6).
Sophomore left fielder Trevor Hauver led a ninth-inning rally attempt with his three-run homer, but a seven-run deficit the Sun Devils had when they entered the frame was far too much to overcome.
The Sun Devils only committed two errors, but miscommunications and poor routes in the outfield fell as hits in the box score.
