STANFORD, Calif. -- Chris Castellanos turned in his second quality start of the week for the Stanford baseball team, but USC’s Mitch Hart worked eight scoreless innings in a 2-0 win for the Trojans Sunday afternoon at Dedeaux Field. USC plated one in the fourth and another in the eighth to clinch the series.
Stanford (21-27, 7-16 Pac-12) dropped its third straight Pac-12 series after winning its previous two. A 3-2 win Saturday made Sunday’s contest the rubber match of the weekend’s three-game set.
USC (33-16, 14-9 Pac-12) opened the scoring in the fourth on back-to-back doubles from Blake Lacey and AJ Ramirez. Stanford nearly escaped the threat when Lacey stole third after his two-bagger, but with the ball in third baseman Beau Branton’s glove, Lacey’s slide kicked out the ball well before the base.
Castellanos, a native of nearby Long Beach, California, settled down to get out of the fourth and throw two more innings. He finished with one run allowed on six hits, while walking one and striking out three over 6.0 innings.
The Cardinal put runners in scoring position on two occasions. Two walks to start the game, followed by a sac bunt by Tommy Edman, gave Stanford a scoring chance in the first and Quinn Brodey reached second base in the fifth with two outs.
Brodey and Edman each had two singles, as they continued to lead Stanford in the series. Edman hit a team-best .625 (5-8) in the series, just ahead of Brodey at .556 (5-9).
Lacey, AJ Ramirez and Jeremy Martinez had two hits apiece for USC. The Trojans added their insurance run in the eighth on a single from Dante Flores off of Andrew Summerville to score Martinez. The run was credited against Colton Hock, who threw 1.1 innings of relief.
Stanford looks to rebound Tuesday against San Francisco. The game starts a four-game homestand for the Cardinal, Klein Field at Sunken Diamond’s last four games of the season.
