Seeking a reversal of fortunes, the USC baseball team went back to one of its mantras. All ways always. The saying means that the No.

23 Trojans can win in a variety of ways, which they showed once more Sunday at Dedeaux Field by pulverizing Purdue, 11-4, to complete a three-game sweep one week after suffering the same fate at the hands of Nebraska. Andrew Johnson pitched five innings of scoreless relief Sunday against Purdue. Chris Mora USC won each game against the Boilermakers in differing fashion after rallying for a 4-3 victory in the series opener.

On Saturday, the Trojans rode a masterpiece from starting pitcher Grant Govel, who took a perfect game into the eighth inning of his team’s 6-1 triumph. The series finale was an unlikely runaway after USC gave up three runs in the first inning. Andrew Johnson pitched five innings of scoreless relief and the Trojans pounded out 12 hits against five Purdue pitchers to notch their fourth consecutive victory.
