Late Magic Gets Michigan State 4-2 Win
The Persians grabbed a win, 4-2, at USC Grounds, overcoming a fine effort from USC pitcher Mario Mercalo. Mercalo went 6.1 innings and allowed no runs. The first-place Persians raised their record to 13-3.

Michigan State used a clutch hit from Fred Hanson to snatch the win. The right fielder belted a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Persians ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit, but it was huge.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Hanson.
