Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return with another episode of the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down a five-game week for the Trojans that proved to be a big disappointment after the Trojans went 2-3 with a pair of losses to Sacramento State, falling to 0-4 against the WAC this season. They break down USC baseball's up-and-down week that did feature a blowout victory over a top 20 UC Irvine team and a late-inning rally from a 10-5 deficit to snag a victory. The Trojans' inconsistent week saw them go back and forth from a proficient offense that capitalized on extra opportunities given by opponents to one that reverted back to its early-season woes of too many strikeouts and inability to come through in the clutch. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the 2-3 week with each providing three things up, including Austin Overn and experimentation, as well as three negatives from the week, including a struggling Jacob Galloway and a gaudy win-loss record for Tyler Stromsborg. The podcasting duo also take a look at where USC stands, breaking down what has become a quagmire of seven teams within two and a half games of each other in the middle of the Pac-12 standings. They also look forward to the upcoming week of action that has the Trojans slated to play four road games against traditional powers that are no longer playing like perennial juggernauts, Cal State Fullerton and Arizona State.
