USC baseball headed to Big Ten Tournament as No. 4 seed
With the regular season in the books, the Trojans will now turn their attention to this week’s tournament in Omaha
Last week, the USC baseball team wrapped up its regular season with a three-game series at Oregon . After dropping two of the three games in Eugene, the Trojans finished the year with an overall record of 42-14 and a 20-10 mark in conference play. Now, it is on to the Big Ten Tournament for the Trojans.
USC earned the No. 4 seed in the tournament, meaning that the Trojans will have a bye through to the quarterfinals. USC and Oregon actually finished tied for third in the conference standings.
However, the Ducks earned the tiebreaker by winning the head-to-head series between the two teams, giving them the No. 3 seed, while USC fell to No. 4.
The Trojans will open tournament play on Friday. They will not know their opponent until at least Wednesday, as teams will have to win two games in the preliminary round in order to advance. The good news for the Trojans is that they will have a rest advantage over their first opponent in Omaha.
