Corvallis

CORVALLIS, Ore. — There’s levels to a proper program build.

Ethan Hedges hit two home runs and drove in the go-ahead run to lift USC baseball to a 6-4 win over Saint Mary’s in the Corvallis Regional.

It was his fifth home run in as many Corvallis Regional games, and it helped him earn Most Outstanding Player honors for the regional.

USC suffered through one of those difficult experiences, getting manhandled by national championship contender Oregon State for the second day in a row in the Corvallis Regional final.

CORVALLIS, Ore. — USC wanted to be aggressive knowing it was entering a hostile environment, playing in front of a sold-out crowd of 4,347 at Goss Stadium.
