USC's Kyle Davis gets the call to start in NCAA regional opener against Virginia

Kyle Davis, formerly of Pacifica High, will be USC's starting pitcher against Virginia Friday in the Trojans' first game of the NCAA regionals at Lake Elsinore.

LOS ANGELES – Before the start of every game he pitches, USC’s Kyle Davis draws a cross in the dirt on the back of the mound; the letters C and Z, for twin brothers Cody and Zack, who died at birth; and 637, which is Internet shorthand for “always and forever.”

They are last-minute reminders of what really matters, Davis’ way of getting locked in before throwing that first pitch.
