The Trojans chased Smith in the fourth after a solo shot by Josh Persell and an RBI double by Barre. With the bases loaded and Matt Sorensen in to relieve Smith, Gemoll hit a single to left to score Barre and give the Trojans a 6-2 lead. USC added a run in the sixth and the eighth to complete the win. Ronald Flores continued his torrid pace by throwing four innings and allowing only one run on five hits to earn his fourth save of the season. Reyes and Flores both worked out of tough jams as the Titans stranded 14 runners on the afternoon.
Game times have yet to be determined for next week's Super Regional in Atlanta.
