Dirtbags Complete Season's Second Third Sweep: Dirtbags 16, Trojans 9

I didn't go to this game, but what a wild one it must have been: Long Beach State took an early lead against Sunday starter Ryan Cook, who gave up six runs, all earned, over only four innings of work, for an early lead of 4-0 that the Beach later extended to 8-2.

USC evened the game up 9-9 in the seventh, but the Dirtbags answered with seven runs in the bottom of the frame, including a career first grand slam by first baseman Shane Peterson. Peterson drove in six by himself, and freshman catcher John Hill drove in three in a game that quickly turned into a laugher.

One thing I would have loved to have been at Blair Field to see was seeing Jordan Hershiser pitch. Yes, he's the son of the Dodger great and Cy Young winner, Orel.

It's only the second time in school history (and the second time in three seasons) that Long Beach has swept the Trojans in a three-game series. It's also the team's second sweep of the season, having won three from Wichita State earlier.

Heh.

Update 3/18: And yes, this was actually the team's third sweep of the season. I didn't forget about Hawaii particularly, but it wasn't one of the series I attended, either.

I guess this means you didn't read my earlier post or you mean to say that they swept their second good team of the season. They swept Hawaii the weekend before and lost to Western Illinois in a one shot before facing USC last weekend. In fact, if you don't count one shots, the Dirtbags have swept their last three series. They have swept every one of their multi-game series except for the season opening series against Rice.

Hope I didn't come off as a pain. Just wanted to point it out. And it should have occured to me that you were focusing on home games since you actually have a chance to see them in person or watch them on TV(as opposed to the Hawaii series which was 2600 miles away). Speaking of which, it's kind of interesting that they played the middle game of the USC series at USC and will play the beginning game of the UCLA series at UCLA. Pretty handy to have two strong teams right at your doorstep.
