USC baseball heads to Big Ten Tournament as No. 4 seed
On Saturday, USC baseball wrapped up its regular season with a much-needed 10-4 victory over Washington. The Trojans scored six runs in the tenth inning to take down the Huskies and avoid being swept.
Now, USC turns its attention to the Big Ten Tournament in Omaha this week. The Trojans will enter the tournament as the No. 4 seed, and compete in Pool D alongside No. 5 seed Washington and No. 9 seed Penn State.

The Trojans will play the Nittany Lions on Thursday and the Huskies on Friday. The winner of the pool will advance to the semifinals on Saturday, with the championship game being played on Sunday.
USC currently sits on the NCAA Tournament bubble. With their postseason fate hanging in the balance, winning two games in Omaha and making it out of pool play would go a long way in helping the Trojans' chances. USC hasn't reached the NCAA Tournament in a decade. The success of this season always did rest on whether the Trojans got back to the postseason. The job is not yet done. The Big Ten Tournament carries enormous importance for the Men of Troy.
