News summary

The USC Trojans advanced to the Corvallis Regional final after defeating Saint Mary's 6-4 in a closely contested game, marking a significant step toward their first super regional appearance since 2005. Ethan Hedges was a standout performer, hitting two solo home runs that helped USC rally from an early deficit. Key pitching contributions came from Mason Edwards, who earned the win with 5.1 innings pitched, and closer Caden Hunter, who secured the save by shutting down Saint Mary's in the final innings despite a bases-loaded threat. USC's offense showed strength, combining timely hitting from players like Augie Lopez and Richard Tejada, while their pitching staff managed to limit the opposition's scoring opportunities, particularly in high-pressure situations.
