Victory Over Sherpas Takes USC to 13-8
Behind an impressive start by Mario Mercalo, USC beat West Virginia, 3-1. The Travelers now have a record of 13-8.

One important at-bat came with the bases empty in the top of the fourth inning. Facing West Virginia hurler Sherman Espinosa, Chip Powers, who is tied for 10th in the USCBA COL in home runs with 6, hit a solo home run. The Travelers went on to win.

"Coulda, shoulda, woulda," said West Virginia manager José Guerrero. "We had our chances and didn't cash in."
