On Monday, USC baseball's season came to an end in the Corvallis Regional final. For the second consecutive game, the Trojans were blown out by Oregon State, this time falling 9-0 as the Beavers advanced to the Super Regionals next weekend.
The trip to Corvallis did not go without any recognition for the Trojans, however. Three USC players were named to the All-Corvallis Regional team, senior pitcher Caden Aoki, sophomore infielder Abbrie Covarrubius, and junior outfielder Jack Basseer.
Aoki shined in the Trojans' tournament opener against TCU, pitching an absolute gem. He threw 114 pitches over eight innings of work, allowing just one run on four hits.
Covarribuius led the charge against Saint Mary's on Saturday, recording a three-hit performance. Against TCU on Friday, he also drove in two runs.
Basseer had six hits across the Trojans' three tournament games. Like Covarribuius, he also had a two-RBI game against TCU.
Head coach Andy Stankiewicz still has a lot of work to do in rebuilding the program. But as the all-regional team highlightedk the Trojans are starting to put a foundation of talent in place.
