STANFORD, Calif. -- A trip to nationally-ranked USC is on deck for the Stanford baseball team this weekend. The Trojans and Cardinal meet with three weeks remaining in the 2015 regular season.
All three games will be televised on Pac-12 Networks with Ted Robinson and Randy Flores on the call.
Stanford (20-26, 6-15 Pac-12) looks to take the series from USC for the third time in the last four seasons. The Trojans won two of three at Klein Field at Sunken Diamond last year, but Stanford had won the two previous meetings, including taking two of three at Dedeaux Field in 2013.
USC (32-15, 13-8 Pac-12) is on the NCAA Regional hosting bubble, coming in ranked in the top 18 of all four major college baseball polls. The Trojans are in fourth place of the Pac-12 with the Cardinal, California and Arizona State left on its schedule. USC’s rival UCLA remains in first place of the league, two games ahead of second-place Arizona State and three games above the Trojans.
Brett Hanewich and Marc Brakeman have been announced as Stanford’s Friday and Saturday starters to no surprise. The Trojans plan to counter with Kyle Davis, who would be making just his second start of the season, Kyle Twomey and Mitch Hart.
Both teams are coming off similar endings to Tuesday nonconference tilts in their last outings. Stanford fell 1-0 in 10 innings to Santa Clara on an extra-inning solo homer and the Trojans dropped an 8-5 decision to visiting UC Irvine on a 10th-inning blast.
Stanford finishes the season with a four-game homestand versus San Francisco (May 12) and Oregon State (May 15-17) and a visit to Washington State (May 22-24).
